Make sure u have enough compression though or youll just end up with a motor which sounds badass but is a dog.

274 and 284 have similar idle charactoristics, can run with similar stall(although cody is currently manual trans shopping), and provide similar vacuum. the difference is basicaly just the longer power band.
with an engine with a solid bottom end that will be a part time cruiser, take the extra bit of power at the same price. better to have it and not use it very often than to not have it and wish you did
