A 46 282 is a couple of inches shorter than the later 288s and 327s, so it will go in the hole, but you would have to fuss with the mounts.

The problem will come when you go to install your Ultramatic to it. The bellhousing may very well bolt on, but the nose of the convertor will not pilot into the crank by a long shot. You would have to machine the hole much larger, and I also don't know if the flex plate would bolt up. Too much trouble!
