My 383 sits on 454 mounts: The original 350 crossmember was moved aft to fit the 454. Later, a 350 was re-installed. I didn't know this until I pulled it to put in the stroker. NO valve cover, exhaust, or distributor problems, though HEI is VERY tough to get in and out. The firewall is tight on my Unilite, and my transmission dipstick, but that's it. When I put the 700r4 in, it moved the transmission linkages back. I had already installed a B&M Quicksilver shifter, and merely moved the hole back 2 inches for the t-case lever.
