From a 283 to a 400, there is no physical size difference on the outside, short of the height if the chosen intake. And carb/air cleaner, for those engines equipped.
I have one in my 1988, a project that doesn't seem to finish itself, or allow me to do it either. Engine fits just fine, but the headers (Hedman) are very tight on the AC/Heater box, Hedman says I have adequate clearance, but I expect the plastic will either get very hot or melt. Can't find a relatively easy fix, so if someone else has a idea, please let me know. The problem seems to stem from the Vortec vs standard heads. Maybe it's just me since I haven't done anything like this before.
