What engine was in the Charger and what engine is in your Roadrunner? I ask because there were different flywheels for different engines depending if they were internal or external balanced and if it was external there still could be a few choices.
Also, if your car currently has a 727 trans, then you should be able to use your current driveshaft as is. If your car has a 904, a new driveshaft will have to be made or an old one of the right size found.
I am not sure on the 66 to 70 useage on parts, as I am more familiar with A-body set ups and they did differ between those years on parts it took to do it. Hopefully someone else will chime ine for you.

383 was in the Charger. 400 made to 451 stroker in my Road Runner. Have 727 in RR now.
Is the 400 stroker motor internally or exterannly balanced now? If internal your good to go with all the parts for the drivetrain, not sure about the body parts like the clutch pedals, clucth rods, Z bar, tranny hump and so on, sorry 4 speeds are GREAT

The pedals are different. 66-67 b body pedals are different from 68-70. The newer pedals will work in the older cars, you just loose your drivers side defroster vent hose (won't fit). Not sure about putting older pedals in the newer car. Never done it. Your transmission cross member will not work straight away. You will have to move the mount on the cross member. Pretty easy modification. As long as the crank in your current motor can except a 4 speed bushing, all else should be good to go.
