Hi I bought a ub special at an auction earlier this summer with a stuck motor. I have a 5star 283 sitting on a pallet I got for next to nothing that should run. My question, will it bolt right in? Really my biggest question is will the 3 bolt starter system work? Thank you
 
Yes, but the ub has a set bolt starter and the 5star has a 3 bolt system. As well as a better govenor(I hear)
 
I put a complete M5 engine in a UB many years ago. If I remember correctly, I had to use the flywheel and starter ring gear from the M5. Also the M5 starter, as it is a 3 bolt flange.

Because the original motor is stuck and I have this other motor sitting here collecting dust. I'm not gonna scrap the original motor, just not gonna use it at this time.
