I wouldn't call them rare. Im sure i could get on Marketplace and find a couple for sale. However they are desirable, they are a great little engine. People have gotten it in there head that bigger is always better, but a 283 will still get the job done. As well as the ones in my signature I have three more 283s in the garage for rebuild.
I recently put an engine in my daily driver another 283 sure I could have dropped any small block in there, but I like my 283.
