Will a Allison Transmission bolt up to a 350?
You can bolt an Allison 1000 behind the 350 engine.. it is too big and heavy for the 350 engine. Dont worry how old you are… it is the mileage on your body that adds up.

Can a 454 be used in a RV?
Still it should be just fine for nearly anything. Second I just put a 80k 454 in my 79 k30 and it works great. Still has peanut ports, but now a small rv cam, intake, headers, and a bunch of intial timing (30deg). It has great power to 4500-5000. They should be the same till like 88-89 unless its cam size or something.
What’s the compression ratio on a motorhome 454?
The only thing that really holds those motors back from more serious mods is the dismal 7.9:1 compression ratio. That really limits how far you can go with your cam choice before things start to suck pretty bad.
