Desota 276 fire dome to 53 truck trans

[bergy]

Hi to everyone

putting a  desota firedome in my 53 b4.would like to use my orig trans. Called up hotheads and the said I needed a v-8 truck Bell. and a different starter tooth count. Anyone ever do this swap and use orig trans.what did you have to do - for conversion. ?the engine comes with a 3 speed lasalle. But I like the pedals through floor.

 Thanks in advance..
