Are there any differences between the clutch and flywheel from a car with a 383 and another from a 440?

Not sure where to start with this one
440 could have 143 tooth 11" wheel where the 383 could be 130 tooth 10.5 wheel.In that case the bells would be different too.Some 440's had 18 spline transmissions where 383's had 23 spline boxes stock.Then you throw the whole 6 pack flywheel into the works and then you have a new quagmire

Basically what I'm trying to do is take my original flywheel, bell housing, and other components from my 383 engine and swap it onto the 440. Can this work or what parts do I need to get.

As long as the 440 is neutral balance then yes bell/flywheel will work.

Are you going to use the same trans ? If so yes .
440's used the 18 spline trans , 383's used the 23 spline so the clutch disc will not swap ... obviously ...
