I'm a little over my head here, so someone will have to elaborate or correct me...
The answer is "maybe". Some SB used a 10 1/2" and others used an 11". All BB used an 11". You'll need to ID you parts before you can decide...

Bellhousing is the same.
Clutch should work if 11"
454 is externally balanced, 350 is internally balanced, I don't think the flywheel will work.
Someone who knows will probably chime in shortly.

In a few words, yes you can. Either the 10.5 clutch or the 11 in. so long as they are from a 265 to a 427, 454`s are externally balanced and not interchangeable except a with a 400, that was not a Vette engine anyway. All 427`s used a 11 in clutch assembly except the 427 L88 that was exclusively a 10.5 assembly with a lightweight 15 lb high reving flywheel.
