big block swap

hi i am new on here, and i have an 89 formula, 305 tbi, turd, anyway it needs and engine, because it has some mjor issues with smoking and sludge from previous owners, anyway, i am thinking of building a 350 from the block up, and puting a dual carb set up on it, my first question is will a dual carb set up clear a cowl induction hood, because that is another mod that i am going to do, i know it won't clear the stocker, second question is what would it take to put a 454 in this thing, i would really like to do that over the 350, but i have have heard all kinds of horror stories about what you have to do to install a big block in one of these cars, but if anybody could help me out i would appreciate it, oh one more question, if a 454 has extensive modification to fit, what is the biggest engine that will fit, thank you for your time
