i installed a SSBC front disc kit a few years ago on my 71 power drum Challenger. I was never happy and after having a shop upgraded it to a dual diaphragm booster and a Willwood master, it still would not lock up the brakes in a panic stop. I finally broke down and ordered a system off E-bay that was set up for an E-Body. I passed on the adapter plate because I did not need to clock it to clear my 340. It cost me $525 plus 125 for a hose kit from classic performance products (CPP) with all the fittings. The only extra part I needed was a 1/2 x20 inverted flare fitting for the PS gear box. Now I can brake normally, but a little extra push and it will lock up at 40 MPH.
Tips if you are doing it your self, take the drivers seat and steering wheel out, you are under the dash on your back and this will make your job much easier. the unit is longer than my previous setup, but I had semi flexible brake lines off the master, so I didn’t need to disconnect the brake lines or bleed the system.
