i say...go for it! the 455 was a monstrous engine. have one out back in a 71 Olds Delta 88. talk about a tank. stories are you could measure your speed by the way the gas guage dropped, and tires were a weekly event. LoL. but yeah. go for it. theres no challenging the 455 rocket for torque. just the oiling system was a drawback..but hey. take the god with the bad.
