    Very cool!! Today's delivery was a pair of these:




    15" X 10" powdercoated silver for now. Should match up nicely with the 325/50 ET's. They will be white to match the rest before long.

    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!

    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.

    Hydrostatic Brake Unit

    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.
