Welcome to FABO

The bellhousing that came with the 383 should be OK, if you use the 4-speed that came with it. Mopar never put the OD tranny behind the B/RB engine, but a loose 4-speed is another issue entirely. Measure the front bearing on the tranny to make sure it will fit through the hole in the bellhousing.

Can't help with the seats w/o photo.

The 68 dash should fit. The problem may be electric compatibility between the 68 dash and the 72 harness. Don't know when Mopar went to ignition key on the column in the A-body. That's another difference that will need to be resolved.
