Welcome to DF arron! I am going to move this over to the Dart Demon and Duster section for better input! Good luck!

If this doesnt help let me know! Well move to another avenue

let us know how the swap is going! You might have to use a three speed auto, I dont think the 505 or 518 trans will fit under the stock floor pan. some modification might be required
