Either bellhousing will work. You need an adapter plate with the car bellhousing or you need to modify a truck bellhousing. If possible, get one of each to see which will fit the '31 the best. You'll need to start with a 3 speed bellhousing. Truck 4 speed has a different bolt pattern which would require even more modification.
The flywheel and clutch should not be a problem.
Refer to the following for some info. It won't help with fitting to the car but might answer some questions about engine to transmission and clutch.

Ok i got it..new to this.i think the car one would work.i need to find one .the truck one has those tabs You need a car housing, the truck one is also deeper because the truck trans has a longer input shaft.

I have car standard shift housings. If you don't find one locally, I could ship one, but shipping cast iron probably isn't cheap.
