Yes, it is required as the 260 tranny is tilted 10 degrees to the right when bolted to the M50.

The best way to do it would be to have a custom brace fabbed up, using the original w/ bushings as a reference.

Mine is a modified stock brace, with only one side raised. I had to modify it so that it sits lower and the driveshaft is inline.

search for my m50 swap thread, i have a couple pics of mine in there. its not hard at all.

Dan's picture of his brace is a good resource, i'm planning on doing mine the same way! I tried looking but i'm in a hurry

does one also have to tinker with the linkage or that stays normal?
