I had an a 1984 Allegro with a GM 454 engine, bought it new. The engine was a nightmare! Went thru 3 sets of headers until I spent the extra bucks to get some stainless steel headers, It had massive vapor lock problems from day one in hot weather and at altitude. Had to put in a second fuel pump at the gas tank to help with the vapor lock problem. The heat problem continually fried ignition wires etc. You couldn't give me another GM 454 engine!
it wasnt the GM engine, it was the way the MH was built around it, you should no better than that. I had a 91 pace arrow with 454, and it took some mods, like you say with the ss headers
