454 is it worth it

Im got a chance to get a 454 for free all i have to do is remove it. it out of a winnie bago (speeling wrong most likly so house on wheels). it has very low miles and it spins freely. The idea is to use it in my 1970 chevelle but i will have to redo it so i have more hp not so much as torque. (i think it was compression that make the car 454 and the truck/ large vehical 454 different.

The chevelle is for a toy not a daily anything. when i biuld it it will be roller and not bored. id have to buy everything new cause everything i have is small block. so is it worth the time or should i keep and eye out for a 396.

The chelle as of know has a 350 bored .30 with 69 corvette double hump head and a very high cam. about 450 hp.
