Used whipple charger from 502 mpi for 454 mpi
Am I correct in saying that a whipple from a 502 mpi will work on a 454 mpi? There is one for sale in the classifieds that I was looking at for my 454. What parts will be needed for the add-on. Will I need to get a different ECM? Will my throttle body work with the whipple?

Yes, it will work & your throttle body will work too provided all the parts are there.
You'll want a 2 bar MAP sensor, new fuel system & a custom ECM tune. You may also need different pulleys dependent on your belt configuration now, v or serpentine.

It currently has v belts, I guess it would need to be changed to serpentine.

You don't "need" new injectors or a pump, but you'll want to for sure do a fuel pump & cooler. The stock 454/502 injectors will work just fine so long as you get the ECM tuned correctly.
You can order (if they are still made) a v-belt crank pulley from Whipple with a 10 rib outer shiv for the blower belt & inner v-belt shivs for your stock setup.
