Picking a cam and torque converter
Heres a closeup pic showing the 69 up 3 prong neutral safety reverse light switch, and the 3 wire plug with wires attached for the lockup and O/D. If it has a connector with more than 3 wires for the lockup and O/D then it's too new and is a 42RE or 46RE. These require a computer to work. There is a place online that sells a premade kit using fluid pressure switches, solenoids, and relays to make the lockup and O/D seamless and automatic in engagement and disingagement, while providing a single switch allowing you to turn it off instead of you having to constantly remember to turn it off below 55mph.
Also in pic #2 it shows a standard 1961-1990 V8 flexplate which will bolt right up. Not sure if all magnum engines which is what this trans came out of are externally balanced using drill holes in the stock magnum flexplate, but the flexplate on the 3.9 V6 had additional drill holes on one side probably for external balancing. The trans I have did not have a counterweight on the torque converter. I am using this with a 318. A standard ATP flexplate is what I will use.
