This manual is Jay's documented record of his conversion
of an M37 to a Chev 350. There's a lot of good info contained
in the manual, but I found that he tries to cover a lot of
automotive basics and it ends up being quite confusing. It's
laid out in an odd manner. This is a manual that could be
excellent, if it was written and edited by a technical writer
with an automotive background. As is, it's a good attempt by
someone with lot's of enthusiasm. For example, his idea for
building the clutch and brake linkage usind the original pedals
I found to be far too complicated. I used a "hanging pedal" assembly
and hydraulic clutch system. It was the easiest part of my
conversion. If I'd have used his idea, I'd still be fiddling with
it! Nevertheless, there is a lot useful information to be gleaned
from his manual, and I got my money's worth. Good luck
