I am trying to work out all the stuff I need to do this , what about the rear brakes ,master cyl ,pipes . any help would be great.I hope to buy the stuff in canada when on holiday in august,would anyone know of a supplier in Ontario

I know Fatman manufactures and/or sells a bunch of that stuff. I bet he's got some dealers or distributors up that way.

Cool Chevy, by the way. I like that grill opening.

I remember what your Chevrolet looked like when you started and what you’ve done so far is absolutely astounding! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Is anyone running disc ? what about the rear brakes will the standard rear brakes hold up.What about the master cyl what are the chevy guys running ... Help I need info.

[Tudor]

the rear drums should be fine - get a corvette manual dual master cylinder and a kit for the big chevy chevy brakes for you new spindles and you'll be stopping like a champ

look for MPBrakes website they have great how to info and kits

I am running a master cylinder from a 72 Mustang (uses the same bolt pattern as the Corvette unit Tudor mentioned.) ECI sells a bracket to mount the Mustang or Vette master in the same location as the Stock Chevy. http://www.ecihotrodbrakes.com/master_cylinder_adapter_kits.html

Kinda pricey, tho. (I fab'ed my own bracket.)

I also used ECI's caliper brackets, but I am running a Mustang II front end. They have brackets for both the OEM Chevy front, or the MII.

Rear brakes are just the drums that were on the Nova rear when I got it.Just put new shoes on and rebuilt wheel cylinders.

I can slide all 4 tires any time I want.
