Direct bolt in engine swaps

I'm looking to swap my LG4 out of my TA. My question is this...what engines would be direct matches for the motor mounting to the motor mounts AND the transmission? Specifically, I'm wondering about 327s, 350s, 400s, and possibly a 454 or a 455. It's an LG4 automatic with the original 700R4. Any help is appreciated.

All chev V8 engines have the engine mounts in the same place and have the same bellhousing pattern. The 455, either olds, buick or pontiac have a different bellhousing pattern. To use it you would need a tranny with a BOP pattern.
