Looks great! Do you think the bigger one would have fit as well?

I think it would be very close. The other one is 1.96" taller, and I have about 2" or so (without crawling in there to really measure it). Motor twisting might make that too close.

Let me know if you want more concrete measurements, and I will turn into Plastic Man and get it perfect!

Dude you need a brake booster and a new master cyclinder and come brakes to slow the beast down......!!!!! Looks bad @$$ though keep it up mann...

Sweet build man!!

Thanks guys.

Yeah, it will get new discs up front, but I am not sure it will get power brakes.

Clean up those heads and valve covers. Way to dirty to be showing off lol.

Looks good, I might be scared to race you. :spit:

I built a '67 very similar to yours, put disc brakes on the front, rebuilt the back drums and put a mid-nineties Chevy 2500 brake unit on it.

Had no trouble whatsoever since the (2004 6.0 w/4L80E) engine already had a power steering pump on it. Only had to plumb in the brake unit. The pedal linkage bolted up - had to trim down the mounting flange a little and redrill to match the truck firewall mounting bolts.

The thing stops on a dime, had no issues with sliding the rears or whatever. I have never liked the looks of that massive vacuum booster on the firewall but the hydrostatic unit is relatively small.

I put an engine cover on mine and I dont think it would have fit with a vacuum booster on the firewall without a lot of trimming.

Ha...the valve covers are gone, and so is the valley pan. They will be CLEAN!!

Bill, that is a great idea, thanks for that!
