Lots of guys have done the swap on this board. Search for BBC stuff and you should find lots of info.

Nothing hard about a 454. I started with a 454 and I'm now up to a 540. Anything bigger than that (other than an overbore) means a tall deck block and that creates a bunch of other problems. 572, 632 etc engines.
My car's not street legal so I have a lot more room to play with after gutting so much out of the car.
