If your 6 is a 250 you will be able to use the flywheel and bellhousing and clutch. Make sure the crank on the 283 has the pilot bushing in the back of it, and that it is not worn.

Thanks for that info bhoeger, so the v8 originaly bolts in that forward position?Would it be best to go with a new or used drive shaft or modify the old one? I take it the cross member on the tranny will not affect where the gear shift is located?
So you live in North Dakota, thats cool! Always wanted to see the Dakota's, I live next to Alaska in Yukon, Canada.
Thanks again,
