Wouldn't it be cheaper to just run the tires half flat in the front? :D :D

Maybe call Fatman Fabrications and see if they will make you custom drop spindles in the 9" drum specs?? You never know...

You also might be able to get BBP spindle hubs to fit your rotors and brake kit? I guess that would not help the caliper mounting, which is likely specific to that 9" spindle.

OTOH, it's just money...

Yer killin me Smalls! :lol:

Lou, I looked at buying separate pieces to make my brakes work, but it would be cheaper to buy a whole kit. :oops:

Maybe my big project will be getting more gear in it. It liked 4.96s a lot, and I rarely run 1/4 anymore so I am going to try at least a 5.13 in it. IIRC I have a 5.38 ring and pinion laying around. Might built another pig.

On another note, I measured the valves in the head off the old motor in the car. They appear to be 1.66 and 1.44. Is that what the old MP valves were?

MP Valves were 1.70 / 1.44 I think
