You have to get different springs for the suspension.

I mean other than beefier suspension you just have to bolt in the mounts right? And tranny and all the obvious stuff. How do you change the mounts?

go to autozone or advanced auto and buy a hanes or chiltons manual that will help on changin the mounts but a 454 bb you might have to do some metal work for the fit. ie recess firewall and or cut out fender wells for headers to fit.

Advance, and Chiltons. Forget Autozone, they only carry Haynes, and Haynes should die. They have inacurate, and extremely lacking when it IS accurate information. One of the guys I go to school with has a Haynes that told him to put 4 quarts of oil in his inline six jeep motor, when it's common knowledge to most who've been in non-make-specific industry that jeeps inline six takes 6 quarts with the filter. His motor had been knocking since he did the first oil change since he got it, and stopped when I smacked him for not checking the oil after he changed it. Not that he should have trusted the book, but it also shouldn't have to be doubted religiously, either. Haynes repair manuals are the one variety of literiture I could stand to burn, don't trust them, and don't let your friends trust them.
