  1. Mine is 32 Chevy car axle. The spindles have the same spacing as your truck spindles

    Speedway needs to do a better job with their descriptions and instructions I had the same issue with some of the published specs for the brake conversion kits that are offered. The specs add up when a spindle adapter is added you just have to drill a new cotter pin hole. I am going to use the D-52 calipers with a 1" thick vane rotor for street/strip.
    I am always carful of some of the Speedway products I don't want any Chinese shit on the car. Your one of the few taking the time to do it right and fabricating your own parts, keep up the effort..

    Filled the holes on the other side. I have the week off work so let's see if I get anything done.

    I also got a different intake. I was going to modify the edelbrock b10 but it was going to take a lot of welding and time to get the intake work for a 1206 gasket. I also sold a center section so I had some money sitting in my paypal account. The intakes an inch taller so I'll have to use a hemi/BBC isky idler bracket.

    The intake also has a Sfi pop off if things get crazy and is drilled for port nozzles. It is also o ringed.

  4. Looks bad ass. Make sure you use torque wrench to tighten the manifold. Next pack the manifold with rags. Put lay out dye on the manifold and sand until it's flat. I use a 18x18x1/2 aluminum plate. There are two handles on it. I glue sand paper to it. When it's flat you don't have to worry about ruining the blower or pushing out gaskets. I use a vacuum to pick up the dust. The blower can then be torqued down. These steps are very important.

    Brakes are done. I might end up making an aluminum bracket.

    Here is a standard spindle next to a machined one.
