Good luck.

Here is a link to a thread where Joe addressed the small block to big block swap. You don't have to worry about the accessories not fitting, notice he specified that problem for a 307 to 455 swap only.
Correct. In 1971 (and pretty much all years prior to 1980) the accessory brackets have two sets of holes to fit both BBO and SBO.
