Default '73 Charger

Hey Guys,
Just a few questions about my car.
Looking at buying a '73 charger from my uncle. It has the 318 motor in it w/ 80,XXX original miles on it. its obviously a project of mine and I was wondering about few things.

#1. I am looking at snagging a '71 chargers hideaways. was wondering if they would fit w/o too much hassle?

#2. I Have a 4-speed tranny and clutch assm. out of a 70 charger lined up to go in. How difficult is this to do?

#3. and finally I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on motor choice for the car, obviously if possible i would put a 426 in it but its jut not in the cards. I have heard some horror stories about 383's and was wondering if anyone had a take on that or a 440.

Thanks again guys

The '71 hideaway set up should be a bolt on deal if you have all the parts, you might have to do some wiring for the door motor.
