I just looked at a '62 C10 with a 194/230/250 in it. It had those angled side brackets that bolt to the pad then sit on the frame brackets. Late 235's had same configuration.

My idea, correct me if this won't work, is to use a 58-63 235 and use side angle brackets with a V8 pad attached to the Walton weld-on V8 mounts for my '53 Bel Air so a V8 swap would be partially accomplished.

Anyone with experience doing this?
Or, what's the rear mounting bolt hole to bell-housing distance on a late 50's 235?
Thanks


Ooops, just found this on the HAMB: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=276713.

So, which blocks came with the middle side mounting holes? Only 1958 cars? That bolt-hole to bell-housing distance would still be nice to know.
Thanks
