????? /6 to V8 ?????

I used a 73 up slant 6 spool K member and linkages in my 72.
Schumacher slant to 360 mounts.
Spool K is easy to convert and the mounts/stands take up less space than a V8 spool or either biscuit style.
73 up steering gear joints point down (pitman arm, idler arm, etc.) not up, so center link etc. mount from below.
Both give a little more engine clearance imo.
