I have no idea why it will not allow me to edit my first post but it will all the rest but I forgot to say the Engine stands are different and move forward from the I6 to the V8 conversions.

I hope this helps someone else, as I had a time figuring all of this info out. Its a lot just to make it look period correct but I know the linkages and shifter will all be alot tighter and feel better. Also I can now run my headers! I cant wait to see how many RPMs she drops with the OD. I am running 3000 rpm at 65 with 373 rears. I hope to see around 2100 at 70 from my math.
