another 455 swap

I'm getting ready to do a frame off resto on my 70 GTO. The motor has low miles since it has only been a 1000 ft at time. I thought since I have a 13,000 actual miles 86 T/A that needs a motor and trans. Someone bought it new for a teenager who bounced it off a semi trailer tire and the median, smashing both front fenders from the nose to tires. They pulled motor and trany put it in a truck and gave the car away, which was in turn gave to me. Found a bad floor pan in goat. My wife's first responce was, "did you cry?" and yes I shed a tear.


The questions.
Does anyone have the dementions of the motor mounts?
Will my tall valve covers fit with the ac box still in the car?
I have my own fab shop, just trying to save on some R&D work.
