Bell housing Conversion

I have a 73 F150 with the 4 speed t-18 tranny? The original engine is a 318. I also have a 76 F150 with a 390 and an automatic tranny in it. I would like to swap the 390 out for the 318 in the 73. It looks like I will need a new bell housing.

What do I need to make this swap. Fly wheel, bell housing, clutch, etc? All help is appreciated.

you'll need the the flywheel from a 302 and you may need an new disk.
