I think I have changed my mind 50 times but the more I read the more I think the easiest decision is to go with the 283 even though I have a 409 truck engine. I say this because it looks like to much cutting and chopping to stuff that big block in position, not even mentioning changing the front end, brakes and steering. I also realize that the 283 will require some cutting and steering box shifting but not nearly as much.
