Hello from New Zealand
Welcome Darren, from an ex Kiwi now living in OZ. Love the VC's, would have been my choice if I hadn't found my S Series. Are you going to up grade that unboosted master cylinder to the matching VJ off set booster and tandum master? Easy upgrade as the next step. 12 second street car on drums! the last owner must be game.

I think the last guys intention was always to run disc brakes, its just he never got this far.
At this stage im having trouble sourcing decent parts (been looking since june), so the plan is to run a new 1" bore wilwood billet master unboosted, on a mopar performance early to late MC adaptor.
I was going to boost these brakes, but since talking to one of my mates with a v8 VG putting out similar power, im now not convinced its worth it, his car is well looked after but you wouldnt know his brakes were unboosted, they work so well, and this car will be lighter.
I have all the tools on hand now to build my own hard brake lines, so brakes are next on the list.
Should have a new set of one piece replacement rotors next payday, and will throw in some new bearings and studs, and im looking to score a set of VJ charger rims with good rubber to get it rolling around the yard on as the stud pattern changes to late 5 x 4.5"
I can slow time rekitting the calipers but i prefer keeping the car off stands and rolling so it can be moved.
Was quite funny, when I stripped these brakes down, they had brand new wheel bearings, and barely broken in pads, yet the rotors were worn scary thin !!!
