Drum brakes - something isn't right. Only 4th gen Fbodies that had rear drums were the V6 ones 1995 and earlier if I'm not mistaken. I'm guessing the 10 bolt rear went on it already and someone slapped that on to replace it. Give this one a pass. It's probably been ragged on bad,

haha yeah i already did...the thing still pulled though...it sounded terrible but i still enjoyed the little ride i got out of it...and one question what would be wrong with the clutch for it to engage so high...or is that normal...it also like swung out real fast when it came close to engage...so it kind of caught me by suprise...i have never had a clutch do that before...is this typical of f-bodies? i sure hope not

would the worn clutch cause the real springy clutch..or is this normal...i figured the high release part would be because of a worn clutch

Yea, worn clutch would show something like that.
