Hey, Tequila Bob, I've thought about doing the same thing with one of mine, . . . but I don't have a donor FHV8.
The engine is about the same size as a 235, as far as cubic inches go, but it should not have as much torque. Keep in mind that a late model 292 has about the same torque as a late model 350. With the FHV8, I would suspect that you would either have to build for high RPMs, or live with a dog. :o
