Starter/Bellhousing Location

Still doing some head scratching about a 4BT in a Scout behind a TH400 or A518/618. The link is gonna be, for the Dodge, adapter plate/tranny from the 6B. The 4bt I am looking at has the starter located on the right side and the bellhousing for the 6B has the cutout for the starter on the left, down low. Is the starter mounting for the 6B auto able to accept the starter from the 4B? I think I'll have the room for it, if it bolts up. The TH400, coming in second, is a bit of a mystery though. I haven't seen one so I can't tell where the start mounts all come together on it. Can TH400 Shorty kit accept a transfer case? Is there a shorty kit for the Dodge tranny and will it accept the transfer case? Also, do the bread truck motor mounts work? The 4B can be a rattler at lower speeds/idle and any suggestions to smooth it out, would be great. Thanks
