This quote from qualityengineeredcomponents.com:

"Circa 1959, a bellhousing was used, mostly on the Dodge 230, that was the correct depth and had an useable mounting face for the NP230 and the A-833. The mounting depth is critical in the application due to the length of the input shafts. This bellhousing can be identified by the fact that it also has the v-8 block bolt pattern. Depending on the transmission selected there will very likely be a need to make modifications to the bearing retainer register interface as well as providing proper transmission mounting bolt hole locations.
