The bell housing i'm not sure but try to see if there is a part store or junk yard with access to part numbers and see if they interchange. The E4 manifold is an older design with a smaller discharge opening and the E6 is an updated one with larger discharge opening.

No the bellhousing won't work. It'll fit the motor, but it won't fit the trans.

The E3 cracked easier and didn't flow as well as it's E6 updated version. The E6 can be found NEW on ebay quite often.
