Welcome to AF, make sure that is not a high deck truck engine and those engines had very small ports and valves, not really performance oriented.

Re: 454 chevy truck engine into 1979 Camaro
Are you trying to install the big block on small block motor mounts? If I remember correctly you need to find a set of big block motor mounts in order for things to fit correctly. I tried to install a BBC 402 into my 1973 Camaro years ago and just found it to be too much of a hassle to stick the big block in there. Not to discourage you, in fact I hope you do it. Keep us updated on the build.
