Sounds like a good deal but as implied the MPG won't be to good.

Re: Score 454

Put a mini starter on it if you are going to have headers.

We had to use '75 big block motor mounts when we put a '73 454 in my '71 C-10 to be able to use the Hooker headers I had.

Like said before gas mileage will not be that good, of course it depends on the rear gears and tire size.

Good luck.
