Cool Olds 455 Swap

I have been considering what motor I eventually want to end up in my 79 c10 and came across the idea of putting an Oldsmobile 455 in from my dad who apparently ran one in an El Camino in his younger days. I've since done some research about installing one and found that getting the mounts from a 5.7 diesel truck make the motor a bolt in application, of course after modifying starter wiring and getting a correct bolt pattern trans, anyway I was just wondering what you guys think about such a swap for making a somewhat unique, and torquey, combo.
