Dont forget to budget for the related items. With the 455 you would be strongly urged to get frame connectors, and the rear end might need to be beefed up. I dont know what the 301 came with, but It was a fairly anemic motor and I bet the rear is nothing special. I swapped a 454 into a 79 Camaro without the connectors, but I had zero traction and got away with it. Your transmission might not live too long either if its an old TH350. That should be upgraded or swapped for a TH400.
