I have another couple of questions. Currently the brakes I have are manual and I want to convert them to power. What would be the easiest way to do this? Would it be to find an A body booster? Also, could you use a E or B body car booster? I like the way those ones look compared to the A body ones

Thanks everyone for the feedback and discussion as it gave me more than enough info for me to base my decision off of. I'm going to just stick with the KH brakes and get the rebuilt caliper with those slotted and cross drilled rotors from summit. Another question though, will those viper...

Does you know if this problem would still persist if i went and got entirely new calipers from rock auto?

Dang, im thinking that just made my decision a whole lot easier. Kelsey Hayes rebuild it is, thanks man

Cool, that answers all my question. Thanks guys i appreciate

Cant you get moser rear axles to have a matching bolt pattern front to back if you do the f/m/j swap

How are the KH brakes when rebuilt? Are they a decent set up or do the lack in bite?

I have a couple of questions that i hope someone might have some answers to. First off, on my demon i have what i believe to be the kelsey hayes disk brakes on the front, and stock drums on the rear. Are this brakes adequate enough to stop this car? My uncle always complained how they were...

Ok, well looks like im going to sand blast the headers this week and give it a shot with that vht primer

Unfortunately for the tires the right front doesnt like to hold air. But you wouldnt believe the tread pattern on those suckers. Its almost like a miniature bfg mud terrain on a 15'' rim with a monster contact pattern. Definitely need some sort of power to break those things loose And...

Yea, my uncle is pretty rad. He gave me a great opportunity here. And i havnt heard about the vht primer? And do you know how much longer it will make the paint last, because i dont really feel like pulling those out again once im done here for touch ups And ill be sure to keep you in mind for...

Yea, my uncle definitely was more into how the car ran than how it looked back in the day

Well, do to some unforseen things, i had to cancel the order on the quarters so that project will be held off for a little while. Finished up the intake and got the timing set all squared away, also changed a couple of the colors around to make them pop a little more. Also went and put truck...

So we went and pressure washed the engine bay to start to get it ready for paint. It actually stripped off all the old black paint down to the original plum crazy so it just makes that task that much easier. I also followed some advice that was posted on here and masked off and painted...

Thanks guys, i appreciate that. And as for the workspace, i got lucky with my uncle letting me bum in his shop Ive ran into a problem because i dont really know how to degree my engine with the new timing chain. The motor itself as advanced 6 but i dont know how to set up the new timing chain...

Oh man, yeah those ones were a pain in the bit for sure. We had to disconnect the steering linkage just to pull them out of the car. And as for the intake, i was thinking i might paint it the flat header black just so it will sorta match up with the ribbed valve covers and air cleaner that im...

I got the patches from yearone, because the drivers side quarter is all filled with mud so it needs to be replaced. As for the headers, i was testing the header paint on some pulleys to see how it looks, and once i figure out what color im going to take them to school, sand blast them down, then...

Sorry its been going so slow guys. With still going to highschool my weekdays are already occupied, and working at a movie theater where the main business is on the weekends they seem to be filled up too. All in all, i only have a bit of time every week to get some stuff done, but thats just the...

Thats a pretty darn good idea, thanks for that. Ive got some extra ones in storage already so it wouldnt cost me anything. :D

So i just went and got a comp cams hi-tech double roller, seemed to have swell reviews and its rated to 600 hp. Also got some solid motor mounts and a new transmission mount since ours was ruined by some old tranny fluid.

yea, it definitely is going to look good. We did run into a problem though. When we took the timing chain cover off, we discovered the chain had way too much slack in it, so it looks like i need a new one. Anyone have any specific brands that they trust for double roller timing chains?

Yea, our skill center is definitely awesome. Not only is it good to get a feel for what you want to do for a career and work on some cool projects, you also get to do alot of your own stuff and even get some good scholarships out of it. Last year i had a buddy thats featured in one of these...

we thought the same thing lol :D but my uncle was saying the motor must only have 4k on it since a rebuild, and then it was parked for 17 years. All i know that it is definitely saving me some money on an engine rebuild

i bought some hemi orange paint today for the block of the motor, and i pulled the paint code for some plumb crazy so i can go and mix up some water-based at school. Ive heard water-based paints really make metallics pop, so i want to see how this purple is going to turn out

Ok, so over this past weekend we got the motor out of the demon. Of course i got some pics of the process and all that good stuff. now the next step is to go through the extremely clean motor, get it painted, and then go in and clean up under the hood before we go and put it back in. And...

Gorgeous car, I'm really diggin everything about it. And where did you get your plumb crazy paint mixed up at? Did you get enough at one time for the whole thing, or was it different batches for under the hood and the body?

Yea, im not in any hurry, ive still got plenty of time :D My goal right now is to get it running, because for me having a running, moving, driving project really helps motivate me to work my butt off to get it done. Also some good news. When we pulled the tank, we pressure washed it and what...

Its a edelbrock victor 2 open plenium intake

Ok, finally got over there again to take out the gas tank and get ready for the motor to be pulled. We were a little surprised by how clean the inside of the tank, just because it has been sitting for 17 years with 1/4 tank of gas. The next step of the build is to epoxy the tank, rebuild the...

Next time im over there ill highlite some of the cancer spots, most of the bodywork is a cakewalk, other than i might need to replace most of the drivers quarter because of a wreck way back in the day that was never repaired right so it eventually got into the inner structer. Another thing i...
