Yes sir, we are long hauling with a group of friends again. Which car are you bringing?

Very nice detailed build! I'm doing a similar swap on a 70 GTO only with an automatic. What P/S Pulley did you use and did you have to space the pump back? What lower radiator hose? I'm using the same Griffin LS swap radiator.

I'll have to find the part #. I just pressed it on until the belt lined up.
And it's a stock smallblock Chevelle lower hose.

Any one ever thought of using a C5 prop valve for disc brake swaps?? This came on 98-00 corvettes.

Would it be fine to run that valve without the abs system? That would be my only concern. I'm using a wilwood valve that's adjustable. one for like a 72 vette that had rear disk and no abs would work for sure

Been doing lots of little stuff. But a big move forward this past weekend.

Drum hubs machined to fit rotors
Screw in studs
Tall ball joints
Kore3 brackets
New coil springs with a stiffer rate (had them already)

You mention the hubs were machined to fit the rotors... Are you still using factory drum spindles? Disc spindles, or aftermarket?

If you're using drum spindles, what disc brake kit, or parts are you using?

This looks like a different setup from back on pg 18??

Caught my interest as a guy came into my work today wanting to have the flange on some rear axles turned so he could get a rotor on and ditch the drum... If I can just turn some hubs down and keep the factory drum spindle, I'm down!

This was a factory disc brake car. But the factory rotors just weren't holding up to regular driving at today's speeds.

I changed the setup to

Drum spindle
Drum hub turn down to 5.94in
Hub drilled and tapped for 1/2-20 screw in studs
The brackets are kore3
C5 calipers from a junk yard, rebuilt them.
slotted centric rotors off eBay
1in bore master cylinder from a 2000 s10 RH drive.

I have less than $400 in the swap, I should be able to recover that cost when I sell the factory disc parts.

To clarify post #349, those brackets are for ls1 Fbody brakes, (same hubs) I ended up using that setup in my wife's chevelle. I used c5 kore3 stuff in my car.

Thank you for the info... Unfortunately the junkyards here are just that... Full of junk. No LSx ANYTHING.

Between RockAuto, Ebay, and the Kore3 website, It looks like I could piece together your same setup for $489 shipped. I think that's pretty good, especially if I don't have to change my spindles.

Love this idea... What pump did you use and did you vent the system at all?

Racnjsn.. Call LKQ in Burleson texas, ask for jeremy, he is their ebay guy. They have a c5 corvette you can snag the brakes from.

Walbro 255 external pump, the tank is vented by the small nipple at the top of the filler tube. I run a hose from it to the frame and point it to the ground, incase a small amount of fuel comes out under hard acceleration. but... that never happens because I never accelerate hard

Decided to add additional bungs to my radiator, just to get away from my adjustable thermostat for my fans. It's not very attractive under the hood. Here's the before pic.

Finally made real progress in the c5 brakes.

Looking real good! Looks like you've got a lot of clearance there, how big are your wheels?
