Re: 283 vs. 350
For a trans mount for a TH350, just get one from a '63-'87 truck. The frames are basically the same so it will fit just fine. You'll just have to drill the mounting holes once you locate it in the frame.
As for the looks of the 283.....both the 283 and 350 are small blocks. You can easily make a 350 look like a 283. Then there is the usual debate on mpg between small cubic inch small blocks and the 350. Some say the 350 will actually do better since it produces more torque than a smaller engine and thus doesn't have to work as hard to move these heavy trucks down the road.
