Couple of corrections
The 454 was designated LS-4 and was the replacement for the 72 and earlier LS-5 454. It first appeared in 1973 (at 280 hp). It had dropped to 270 hp for 1974.
The Turbo-Hydramatic was the 3 speed automatic available in 1974, the 4 speed automatic 700-R4 didn’t show up until 1982.

More corrections a manual is also available which should be chosen since automatics were awful back then but I would go for the Corvette ZL1 and ZR2 first before I go for the facelift
