| THAT MOTOR IS EASY TO WORK ON AND PARTS ARE EASY TO FIND AS WELL AS INEXPENSIVE. |

Parts are common for that engine in automobiles - but watercraft may be different. Do not use automotive parts on a marinized engine - it's illegal in many areas. Not all parts are specific to marine, but the carb, starter, etc. are all marine specific. Try and get a PCM repair manual for the 454 from www.skidim.com or similar place so you'll know what you're in for.
