The cam I have in my 283 came out of a 355 that I built for my 1984 crew cab 3/4 ton years ago. I didn't like the characteristics of the cam in that application and pulled it. I installed a Performer manifold and Performer cam/lifters/chain/sprockets, still running the 800 cfm Q-jet (original to the 454) and 3 speed automatic, 3.73 rear end, it was an amazing difference in operation.
