If it has been changed to a smallblock chevy as you say, then more than likely it has a more modern drive train also. It would require quite a bit of fabrication and/or adaptor plates and such the make the smallblock work with the original drive train, although it has been done. Crawl under and take a good look. Sounds like a some point someone tried to make a daily driver out of it. That can be a good thing or not depending on your intentions of driving or restoring. Good luck with your pending purchase.
