When Free Isn't Cheap Enough...

There looks to be a hose from the top of the waterpump to the head. I don't remember there being one of those on the early small blocks. Are you sure that it's not a corporate engine? A friend of mine had a 455 buick in his '72 a few years ago. He said all you needed to do was change the frame mounts to drop it in. What did the waterpump/ timing case area look like? Did the pump look like a regular chevy?
