How hard is it to fit a 454 in a LUV? Is there room, or will the firewall have to be cut and moved?

Every big block install i've seen needed firewall and trans tunnel work. The pedal assy's also needed to be shifted off to the left because of the work to the trans tunnel. I cant remember if the trucks i've seen still had the stock frame or not. But the torsion bars were gone in favor of coil-overs. None of the trucks were street legal, they were built for 1/4 mile.

I'd be putting it on leaf springs, so that wouldn't be a big deal... I guess I'll just have to see how much room I have tommorrow..
