Andy, I have done one and my neighbor has also done one. I am not familiar with the 30hp V-8 so I don't know if the conversion kit will work or not.

Andy, I used the kit from Flat-O-Products. Their website is; www.flat-o.com. I think this is a better kit than the Speedway one. You will have to remove the center portion(riveted pieces) from the center crossmember and split the wishbone. You will also need to purchase the parallel leaf spring kit for the rear end. I would recommend the spring kit from Chassis Engineering; www.chassisengineeringinc.com. You can send me a private message by using the PM box on the upper right corner of the message box.
