My dad put a 283 in a AD 1 ton once. He put a u joint in the steering column and moved the box over. Then he bent the drag link so it moved in original line of travel. Had to have a front cross member, 350 water pump, had to move brake pedal over an inch or so, had to hide the push button somewhere under the dash to activate the starter. He had it so sitting in the truck, or standing next to it, you'd think it had the stock six in it.
