The L6 uses the rear holes for the perch. The 292 has a different perch on one side LINK HERE.

Many folks who install a SBC will move the engine forward so the dizzy will clear the firewall. I am not sure where GM installed the 283ci but to my thinking if it had a MT then it it HAD TO BE the rear holes because the bell is mounted to a frame cross member that is riveted into place.

Take a tape measure to the salvage yard and figure out if the DS will fit.
