It will bolt in with the original style motor mounts, but I'm not a fan of that style of mount as they're not very durable in a HP application.....IMO. If you are running taller than stock valve covers, there will likely be firewall interference with the engine in the original location. Will you be installing headers? What trans are you going to run? You will need the correct flywheel or flexplate for the trans you run since the 454 is externally balanced.
