    kelsey hayes vs f/m/j swap

    I have another couple of questions. Currently the brakes I have are manual and I want to convert them to power. What would be the easiest way to do this? Would it be to find an A body booster? Also, could you use a E or B body car booster? I like the way those ones look compared to the A body ones

    Thanks everyone for the feedback and discussion as it gave me more than enough info for me to base my decision off of. I'm going to just stick with the KH brakes and get the rebuilt caliper with those slotted and cross drilled rotors from summit. Another question though, will those viper...

    How are the KH brakes when rebuilt? Are they a decent set up or do the lack in bite?

    I have a couple of questions that i hope someone might have some answers to. First off, on my demon i have what i believe to be the kelsey hayes disk brakes on the front, and stock drums on the rear. Are this brakes adequate enough to stop this car? My uncle always complained how they were...

    Unfortunately for the tires the right front doesnt like to hold air. But you wouldnt believe the tread pattern on those suckers. Its almost like a miniature bfg mud terrain on a 15'' rim with a monster contact pattern. Definitely need some sort of power to break those things loose And...

    Well, do to some unforseen things, i had to cancel the order on the quarters so that project will be held off for a little while. Finished up the intake and got the timing set all squared away, also changed a couple of the colors around to make them pop a little more. Also went and put truck...

    So we went and pressure washed the engine bay to start to get it ready for paint. It actually stripped off all the old black paint down to the original plum crazy so it just makes that task that much easier. I also followed some advice that was posted on here and masked off and painted...
