That would depend if the V6 is a version of the 318-360 or a completely different engine family…

You should know that 360’s were balanced externally with a weight on the flywheel or flex-plate so you must be very careful when selecting those parts or you will wind up with a paint shaker…318 parts are different and fit, but they will not work very well…
