Engine swap

I have a 1979 K30 Camper Special with a Sm block 400 .
I also have a 1976 C20 Suburban with a 454 .

I would like to install the 454 in the K30 . What parts will I need and what problems should I expect ? Is there a kit or something?

Thank you in advance for any help.

i may be way off here but you may have to swap trannys with it cause i think chevy and gmc have different designs at the top most part of the bellhousing/engine block thetop two bolts wont line up and the motor trans wont mate right i may be way off but i recall something about that with blazer/jimmys

everything will bolt up just fine. make sure that you use all the brackets from the 454, as the brackets are different from small block to big block

i've been told that pre-72 trucks had an extra crossmember, i dont know, i've never seen one of each side by side to compare. other tha that they're mechanically identical.
