72 Scamp front drums

I used to run 10" drum brakes all around with a hi-po engine when I was young. It tended to fade when using the brakes a lot as drums just don't dissipate the heat as fast a discs. With that engine, there is more weight and plenty of torque to manage, and I'd seriously encourage you to convert to at least the 73'-76' 11" discs up front. (Requires some parts changes; there are lots of threads on this.)
