The first thing is, Dart GT's are very collectable, and depending on the options it came with, your car could be potentially worth some coin.

In other words, consider carefully whether you really want to chop it up or not

Next, none of the 'truck' bells will fit, possibly with the exception of 3 speed bells or possibly the ones used on the ill-fated "overdriven 4 speed."

Any of the truck bells that used a truck type transmission won't fit. The bolt pattern on the transmission mount furthermore is different

Last, I believe the 6 K member is different
