Slant 6 to 318 swap

Also, Can I use my existing 904 and just change the bellhousing?
bell housing is part of the transmission casing, they don't interchange. You'll need a 904 from a V8, or... a small block 727, but the 727 will require a shorter drive shaft. It doesn't need to be a A-body transmission, but just don't get one from a motor home.
