Good advice listed above. Be aware that nothing from the 235-6
can be used for the V-8 conversion with the possible exception of the clutch, depending on what V-8 flywheel you use. The V-8 conversion is one of the most popular subjects covered on this site. Lots of information here. I made up a spreadsheet several years ago listing the parts used in the conversion. If you think it is something you can use, send me an email and I'll send it to you. Depending on where you are in "socal" you could also look at mine.
