I edited your post as an intro, and moved your other post to your own thread. Welcome, post some pictures of your car when you get a chance.

You have come to the right place. I will go ahead and tell you (boy I hope I get this right), use 350 mounts on the 455 and you won't have to change the frame mounts that are in your car now. If you use the 455 mounts on the engine, change the frame mounts. I have never done this but the question has come up on here just about every time somebody does this swap. How about letting us see some pictures of your car.

Cool! Most people would just replace the 350 with a 455. Few would have the skills and tools necessary to actually change a 350 into a 455!
