Pontiac ,Old's or Buick ???
Frame mount's from whichever engine from their A-body counterpart should make it a bolt in.
You'll need a BOP adapter to go to a Chevy trans and some rewiring but it's no biggie.
I'd go for a 500 Caddy - same weight as a SBC and Lot's of TQ.

Which 455, there are 3 of them. As long as you have all the corresponding brackets and pulleys, it's the reverse of dropping a Chevy engine in a Buick, Olds, or Pontiac. The only other t hing you will need is a transmission since the BOP bellhousing bolt pattern is different. I personally would opt for the Olds 455.
