455 into a 69 cutlass

ok guys, before you get mad at me, and tell me i missed all the info because i didnt search, im going to apologize, because i did, and just have some questions.
Im going to swap the 68 toro 455 i got into my 69 that had the 350. What all am i going to need to do to make it work, and what headers do i need to get? its a 4-door, so basically the ones that fit the convertible right? thanks

That IS a joke, right? Any headers for a big block in a 68-72 A-body will work.

Oil filter adapter, accessory brackets, and starter all need to come from the old 350 motor. Of course, you'd really rather use the high torque starter from the Toro. If you can get it, swap the nose piece with the one from your old 350 starter.
