I bought a 68' Chevy Impala sedan with the 327 in it. It has A/C, Heat and Powersteering. I would like to put a 454 in it. If it would fit, what all would I need to do to get it up and running?|||The only thing you will really need is a set of exhaust pipes. You will also need peripherals to fit the big block such as brackets to mount the alternator, power steering pump and a/c pump. All the rest will work.|||Too late to answer the OP: As well you'll need a smaller power brake booster if you have drum brakes, a correct oil pan, truck pans won't fit because of the drag link, a cowl hood (engine is taller) check rad for cooling cap in addition to what the others said.

|||There is no problem putting the 454 in your sixty-eight but you should get all of the brackets for the Alt,A/c Comp/ Power steering pump and all . The measurement for the front motor mount to the transmission is the same for all big blocks and small blocks alike . There may be a different motor mount tower for the big block but I don't thinks so. New exhaust will be needed.|||Yes it will fit with all Chevy parts from any Big block, 396,427,454.
Radiator,springs and bigger brakes should be the only replacement parts needed.
You can make a hot car but it still wont be racer, it's just too be heavy.
