I trashed my 350 last year and just picked up a 454 to swap. What's needed to do this, will the mount need to move or bolt up and what about the flywheel is it the same one on my 350. The 454 I have cam with this cam will it work for a marine cam.

The cam is by a custom cam grinder

I'm no marine V8 expert, but in cars the only change needed is exhaust manifolds. They take the same engine mounts and the same flywheel.
 
Definitely different flywheel. 350 is internally balanced, 454 is external so it has weights on the flywheel.
