RV 454 conversion ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 72 C-10 LB and I'm looking to convert from my 307ci/sm465 to a 454ci/th400 setup. Someone locally is selling a 454/th400 setup out of a 76 Motorhome/RV. Is there any real differences with a RV motor or trans? And how difficult is the swap? Any advice? All help is greatly appreciated. What would be a fair price to offer him for it? I do understand some of the things I will need for the conversion like-

radiator upgrade
motor mounts
brackets
brake pedal for automatic?
shifter
