The 454 is an evolution of the K400/440. The motor mounts might work but, the shift shaft
is in the wrong place, up in front of the stator.
Plan on a complete rebuild. Run a compression test. Pull the head and check the bores.
But with a couple seizures that your aware of, my money is on a scored bore, piston, rings
and bearings. All seals are available except the clutch pushrod seal
Here is some reading material that could be of some help.

The bike started no bother didn't idle worth a dam but got it to idle it was smoking a bit i could see it wafting out of the garage i got it to run without cutting out long enough to warm up
When I pulled the plugs they had oil on them both sides.
Also a nasty nocking sound from bottom end ish
The compression figures look to be ok so I wonder if its valve Stem seals causing the oil and the nocking is crank shaft bearings (big end shelf)
???// thanks for the responses so far.

By the same thought, we in the states used to strip and scrap out every single kz1000 shaft drive to fix chain models.
Also 'spending more for parts than an engine' i was told that about my goldwing and did a refresh on another engine for $150 total. (New block, ring set gaskets and surfacing head, all depends how cheap and do it yourself you are)
my bikes; 80kz1000(project), 77 gl1000, 74 h2 (project)
Past; 78 kz1000, 83 kz550
