Hey fellas-
Anyone know of any compatibility for a disc brake swap on a 68 Firechicken? I am going to drop in a LS1 or LS2 w/6 speed, and figure that the drums should go.... I know that many cars mid 60's to early 70's GM will work, but I was talking to a guy who did a 67 Chevelle convertible, and he swears that the discs, steering box and power booster out of a mid 80's RWD Cadillac will work.... the junk yard that I've been going to doesn't have any Caddies that old.... the newer stuff isn't even close- spindles are at least 2" taller.... I know that you can buy an aftermarket kit, but that takes all of the fun out of it, doesn't it? Anyone can open their wallet- I'm trying to do it "old school style," so to speak...
