Rodger,
Thanks for all the help so far. The truck originally came with a 6cyl/NP435 combo. A 360/904 is what is in there now. I have access to the 435 if I want it. Plus at the pick a part I grabbed a bellhousing and flywheel off a small block, as I was not sure if those are interchangeable between the 6cyl and the V8 motors. ( do they interchange?) And I probably screwed up and let a 727 trans out of a 74 dodge van go, unless they put the 904 behind the 318 in the 1/2 ton vans. The truck is mainly going to just be a cruiser, i doubt I will be doing any heavy hauling with it. But if I change my mind, I can always put the 435 in it. I am trying to go as cheap as possible, but still be reliable/enjoyable on the street. Thanks again!!!
What will fit???

If you look for the model number or the serial number of the transmission,
you may find out that you have the A-998 or the A-999 Automatic. If so,
that would be a good thing. NAPA has an re-build kit ( they will ask for
the numbers, so look now ).
I would think to keep it as an automatic, since it is already there.
===================================================================
The Slant Six bell housing will only fit another Slant Six.
===================================================================
The Slant Six Fly Wheel will fit another Slant Six or an LA-318. The balance
for the LA-360 is different.
===================================================================
If you ever think of "hauling", do this first ( look at the attachment ).

Re: What will fit???
Hualin the 1 time a year or once in a lifetime, can easily be handled by any transmission, don't loose performance because you "think" you need a heavy duty transmission for haulin something, any transmission in these light trucks can haul or your 1 tow in a lifetime, I haven't had a front bumper since I owned my truck since 1988, or a rear bumper since 1999, but I have used it to haul my belongings to Colorado, the 727 came out of a car, their is no real difference between a car engine and truck, except the truck engine's were built with all the low performance engineering and the car got a high performance horsepower,if you want a cruiser you'll be able to do any modern day haulin without worrying about it, so if you choose a drive line that you think you may need, you might miss your whole build intentions of having something to "Cruise" with
