If it's a 280C, it's a DOHC engine whose number escapes me. That being said, 
these models were not known for their longevity.

The one saving grace is if you find one with fuel injection. The carbed models 
were not fun to work on or maintain, and that's coming from someone who had all 
of these but the 280C.
