SBP or BBP?

I would say cost is going to be the biggest factor as well. You have to have a clear plan of what you are going to do with the car. Swapping to BBP entails changing the rear axle to either an 8 1/4" or 8 3/4" with BBP axles and corresponding shock plates... about $200.00 for the 8 1/4" and the skys the limit on the 8 3/4". Next would be to find a donor car for the BBP front brakes, looking for a 1973 or later car. Assuming you can find decent rebuildable parts from the donor, you would be looking at $200.00 for core parts plus the $$$ to rebuild or buy replacement calipers and such, probably a $400.00 endeavor when you're done. Now you need to actually do the swaps if you're mechanically inclined or pay to have it done.

So, is it worth it to you to have BBP for the $$ and time and labor involved just to have a larger selection of wheels?? Are you OK with running 14" tires?? If so, just keep it SBP. Again, it all boils down to your vision of the car, and your final product when it's done!!

For the record, I have SBP on all my early cars and I have no problem with keeping them that way!!! Geof
