Your best bet is to contact a high performance converter builder on your area, and asl where they get their stuff done.

There are no converter shops near me and I called b&m talked with don spar he chuckled said they don't do that anymore and haven't for nearly 40 years however he did send me some very necessary literature and answered some questions I had so if you have a converter shop you use I am open to sending it off just need some contact info   Thanks

Call A-1 Converters, 360-574-9966, they are located in Vancouver, Wa, near Portland OR.
They build and alter all the Heritage JrFuel , A/ND, & B/ND dragster converters, besides most Comp Elim

If A1 won't work on it give Superior Convertor a call in Portland Oregon I know they use to modify stock stuff and work on obsolete transmissions

Oh yes not much of a web site

Most don't firnace braze in house. That process needs to be done in a vacuum furnace. Places that heat treat usually furnace braze also. Call you local heat treat places.
