70 duster: updating, and a no-dough pro-touring makeover

ill have to look into the doctor diff stuff. havent heard of them before.

reason im looking at the vette stuff is actually because of how they hold up on track. a lot of my customers run C5 and C6 vettes, and yes they do go through a lot of rotors. they crack them from heat cycles. also, the pad wear depends on compunds. most of my TT guys run wilwood H pads. get 3/4 a season out of them, running 2-3 events a month. get about a day out of a set of rotors with those pads, though.

i have a few complete sets of vette and f-body calipers laying around, firgured id use them on the duster. pads are readily available in any compound i could wish for. ill be building my own brackets, and would love to see what other guys are doing with this, if there are other guys doing this. plans are to cut down a set of diplomat rotors to make a hub, build a plate that bolts to the spindle, and mount the caliper adapter from the vette to that plate.

on the rear, im looking at cherokee stuff because i was told it would bolt to my 8 3/4, retain the parking brakes, etc. i can get a full setup down at pull-a-part pretty cheap. is this true?

as far as my adjustments go, im close to maxed out. stock uca bushings at the moment. never made the jump to offsets. then, on the aeroduster thread, i say that ben is using speedway arms on his. waiting to see how that works out for him before i do it.

and instead of BMW seats, think subaru. my wife and i both love the seats in our legacy GT, so im going to look for a set. ill have to re-upholster them, but oh well. ill also use a center console/armrest thing outof a 97/98 dakota. keep it looking like a bench. kinda.

hope this helps.

and if anyone had seen the thread about converting to GM TBI, i could not fond a factory TBI unit to support my horesepower.
