I still have my 283 sitting up I only changed it because it started running bad and from what I was told it was the cam. Changed that, but broke a stud on the heads. Instead of changing the stud, got a price on rebuilding the heads, 450 was too high so I found an enging cheaper.
My problem was lose head bolts after all that. It was in my truck for over 12 years without a hitch. Just depends on what you want.
