His truck had a 350 in his '65 and wants to put a 454 in it. What will all need to be done for it to fit in the truck? Mounts? firewall mods? etc.

It is important to match all the individual components so that they work together as a system to give the best performance possible. Motor/Trans/Drive Shaft/Rear Gear/Front & Rear Suspension Etc..

Re: sbc to bbc swap

I put a 454 in my 65 and all I've run across so far is having to get rid of the original placement of the transmission cross member. I used an 84 suburban c20 as my donor and even was able to use the motor mounts off of it for the swap. Clearance is tight above the valve covers but other than that pretty straightforward.
