Got the intake back from our body guy today. FRC's come back tomorrow (torch red).

Hopefully we'll have the drivetrain back under the car this weekend.

do those brakes retrofit to a c5???

I wonder if they would work on a c5 brake setup, on an Fbody.
They look like sweet calipers thats for sure, freaking huge

This may be a dumb question but is that 53 conversion a kit or something for the c5s? There is a guy in town (I live in a fairly small town) who has a white c5 with the 53 style front end and rear end.
