454 swap..

hey i found a rebuilt 454 here in town for a great price..ready to swap...
what all could i expect to have to change to get this in my 81...there is currently a 327 with a th350..2.73 rear gears...

im gonna look at the engine this week, hopefully tomm....
are there things i should look for concerning the 454 specifically
never really messed with one.

i would think that the th350 would get crushed with the 454 torque and power.....so i am thinking that i could get a th400 to go with it..."since i found one of those also"...
how would i know if i needed a short or long shaft?

what else should i expect to have to change...


looking forward to your tips...


thanks,
anthony
