I had a t-18 in mine from a '62 F100. The bell housing depth is the same as 93'- down t-5. ( 7.125"?) Just drill bolt holes and go.

If you have the thunderbird timing chain cover, its easier to find the hurst mount for the biscuit mount up front than go thru all the trouble...
283 bore is 3.875....312 is 3.80 ... so you would have to overbore the 312 0.075". not outrageous. the deck heights are close, the 283 is 1.779,...
