454 swap into a 1954 Chevy truck

[Kentyk]

Hello

I am trying to put a 454 into a 1954 Chevy truck. Will it fit without modifying the firewall?

Will the engine fit without switching to short style water pump?

Will an electric puller fan work?

I am thinking of using the stock exhaust manifolds are headers available for this combination.

The front suspension is a Scott Danforth IFS based on a GM G body.

Any assistance would be great.

(1) valve covers hit the firewall and distributor will not have enough clearance.

(2) you need the short pump.

(3) I put a pusher fan in mine.

(4) I used 1969 camaro headers.

Thanks for the pointers.

I noticed in the truck that you are building that you use a front serpentine system from a 1990s truck. Is that a long or short style water pump?
