What motor mounts should i use and will the power steering from the 301 work on the 455

pontiac never installed a 455 olds in those cars, however they installed 403 olds engines. i'm no expert in olds engines, but if the outside block is the same on a 403 and 455 olds, then you should have no major problems. and in that case the 403 engine mounts should work for you. as far as transmissions are concerned you did not mention what you got.
so if you run an automatic, you would have to use a TH400, a TH350 will not last you long. and if you are talking about the power steering box, than that should work for you.
