If definitely sounds like a good move I’m just not sure about jumping into that right now. I can get disc brakes without that I’ve seen a few setups scaredbird which I used in my 63. Plus then I gotta deal with my 55 has a 455 in it. I’m learning quickly why people have chose chevy lol hate to say it [emoji23]
