i know the experts will chime in here but there are a lot of posts on 6 to v-8 swaps and you might want to do a search and read some of them. i know you will have problem with the stock steering column if you plan to keep it. the engine has to be moved over about one inch I think for a small block and maybe more if the 454 is wider than a small block. if you are going to go power steering, power brakes etc you might want to look at one of the ifs kits that you can buy from most of the vendors.
