I'm 62. My '55 had a 283, I'm swapping in an LQ4 6.0, 4l85e and Ford 8.8 limited slip rearend. So age has nothing to do with it. My 283 could have been rebuilt and made to run very well. But it wasn't going to produce anywhere near the power or the mileage, not to mention the life and reliability the LS will.
"Old-vehicle-with-more-modern-more-powerful-engine. Isn't this THE recipe for a hotrod? (I mean, unless you're on the HAMB - where there are hundreds; if not thousands, of Model T's, A's, Deuces, 30's, 40's and 50's cars running SBC's and BBC's, but NEVER mention putting an LS in your vehicle or those guys have a fatal aneurysm!)
