I couldn't find this information on the site so here is my question. I was talking to a machinist that builds motors professionaly. He stated that if I swapped out my 235 for V8 and kept my 4 speed granny sm420 I would have to weld some type of brackets/braces for the clutch set up. Something about welding brackets/braces to the frame for it? I did not understand all that he said; it was way over my limited mechanic skills. I know someone on this site has dealt with this before, a V8 to a sm420.

Any other info or help on the pitfalls of putting this combo together would help.

Thank you,

Dan
