Bell Housing from the 216 will fit and work. Keep the starter and flywheel together. Front mount plate will work fine after drilling(there is a Tech tip with measurements some where) The water pump is longer. There is a Tech tip and a provider for that. Converting to 12 Volts has a Tech tip as well. Keeping the original transmission, should keep things simple. Look close at the throw out bearing, I got a bad one from my local parts place. PITA to do that twice. Now is a good time to replace any motor mounts if needed. Fix the brake system first. Make it as good as you can. Frustration can cloud judgement so get that out of the way and have fun.
