Well, I was searching for a Christmas gift to beat the lady this year. I think I nailed it. She was in tears. Drove it from Scottsdale Az to Central California with zero hiccups. Upgraded from a slant 6 to a 318 and Auto trans. Glad I can be on here with an A body but still love my B body as well.
Now with an A body also...

Looking good! What B body do you have? Oh and welcome!
68 Satellite with Roadrunner hood and custom hood inserts made with my Son's name on em. His name is Havok. He has Autism and it is one of the things he loves most. So with that name I saw it to be fitting and didn't likeep driving around with inserts that said "383" when it only has a 360 that's hopped up in it. Greening Auto Company did the inserts out of Nashville for me. Great people to work with.

Wow great cars. Love the Cuda and the Havok story.
Any plans for some mods on the Cuda?
Any plans for some mods on the Cuda?
As far as mods on the cuda...disc brakes in the front. Power steering. Better 15" wheels to fit the bakes as well. My lady really just wants a crusier. But we will see where it goes. I'd like to put some headers on it too. It's such a good driver (12 hour trip with zero problems) that I hate to mess with a good thing, but safter is better on brakes and steering. Borgeson for steering box and maybe SSBC or Wilwood for brakes. Wheels might be cragar SS but not 100% on those yet. I do need a 4 point harness as well for my son in the Cuda and the Satellite. For the rear seat. Has anyone done this? Would it be ok to bolt to the floor pan somewhere with reinforcement? Really need to find a solvery for this issue.

to the fray! nice job one upping the lady - but you done dug a hole for next year....
use a ssb kit . liked it , fit well , uses stock pads , i like that . d11 for 65-66 mustang (shellby) and falcoon , comet and 65-72 a body dodge and plymouth .
Nice rides and great story!
I would do a SSBC kit, but that depends on if the Cuda has 9" or 10" drums. Am I wrong that if they are 9" that I have to get new spindles from a 73 and up A body? At that point we are close to the money of just doing Wilwood that has a 9" conversion kit.
use 10'' spindles , larger bearings . or are you changing wheel patterns from 4'' to 4 1/2'' . ssbc is double patterned . but not sure if any allow the uses of 13'' rims .
your at the right place , lol . just say wanted , unless you go with later model stuff . more to change with later stuff . i bought a bolt in kit from ssbc , master/booster/disc rotors /calipers/ hoses /bearings /seals/ fasteners , all in the kit , just need to tube it all in . even used a rear brake pressure adjuster in the system . works great . it add track width about an inch , see what clearance you have before rims n tires . early cuda's have small wheel openings .
Did you already have 10" spindles or? Do they make a kit for 9"? Or can you buy a kit that comes with 10" spindles? What car did you install yours on?
did a 10'' drum conversion to ssbc a body kit uses stock spindles , was on a 71 duster , same front end stuff . with all the guys on this site swapping to disc from drums there should be a few pairs of 10'' drum spindles up for sale . just saw a pair of 10'' drim set ups for 30 bucks i think . which kit you get , make it an easy one to get parts for .
