slant 6 to 340

I swapped from slant 6 to a mild smallblock last winter. I used the Schumacher kit, worked very well. I did not swap the breaks or torsion bars or even the 7 1/4 rear end. Everything worked just fine through the summer. I do intend to swap the breaks and rear end this coming winter. And I would advice everyone to do the same. With more power/weight sufficient breaks is necessary.
