The SD33/SD33T would probably fit without moving things. Because it is a relatively low powered low torque high speed motor, I'd definitely keep 5.83s, perhaps with a 5spd. Or, if a truck already has 4.89s, a 5spd with 5th direct.
The SD33 can be set up with an SAE#3 flywheel housing, which would allow a Spicer 3053A 5spd (ratios = 5.90, 3.10, 1.70, 1.00, 0.79) from a deuce to be used. They are abundantly available at $500 or so.
