This is exactly what I am looking for. The aftermarket stuff is really pretty and I am sure they perform at a really high level but I have a character flaw that won't let me use them. I 'm tight with my money. With your help I'll be able to improve the car's stopping and still be able to budget...
I'm working on a 1973 Barracuda. It came with disc brakes but like everyone else I want more. I know this has been covered because I can remember reading the article, I even bought some of the parts. Several years later when I want to go back to the upgrade and finish it, the information can't...
The people that would consider your work to be sacrilege would have quit reading quite some time ago. Your skills and imagination are what I hope for in my own project. It does seem that you have gotten caught up in the same trap we all get into. You know, "Just one more modification and it will...

Thanks for the reply. I may be trying to fix something that doesn't need it. This is my first E body so I know nothing about wheel and tire fitment. I want to run Cragar SS deep dish wheels on the rear. My previous experience with this was on a 72 Duster. I had to run air shocks to get it to...
I've been told that a rear-end out of a 66-67 B body will fit in an E body and give you an additional 3" total clearance for tires/wheels. Has anyone tried this? I am not sure if this would require relocation of the springs or just relocation of spring pads on the differential.
