This may help, but I have a 71 Demon that came with a 318, 3 speed. I put a 4 speed in it, and all I did was take out the 3 speed, put the 4 speed in. Only thing that was changed was the rear yoke in the trans. Everything else remained the same.

Bell housing should stay the same, again not an expert on I6, and the biggest clutch would probably be the 10.5.

IIRC, I believe the slant six cars used something like a small 9 1/4 clutch setup.

The V8's use a "10.5 -23 spline unit for the clutch. He will need a bellhousing from 318,340 or 360 engine.

I have not seen a slant six bellhousing, stock or aftermarket ,thats fits both a Mopar SB V8 and a slant six I've done the same as one of the other posters, removed a three speed stick(medium duty) from a 1973 340 duster and put in a NP833 4 speed out of another A body, I used the earlier (pre 1969)A body 4 speed shifter also I'm thinking the clutch splines (23) and input shaft diameters are all the same on the non Hemi and 440 HD 18 spline 4 speed clutches
