Converting rear drum brakes from SBP to BBP

Thanks so much for the information. Currently the car has a 7 1/4 rear axle with 3.23 ratio. The drums measure 11" though, does that sound right?

Nope. No such thing as SBP 11" brakes, they were all 10". Only way they could be 11" brakes is if that's a BBP 7 1/4. They wouldn't have been there stock in that case, but they fit.

With a 7 1/4 you're pretty much screwed too. The SBP and later BBP 7 1/4's are different, you can't swap BBP 7 1/4 axles into a SBP 7 1/4". You'd have to have the SBP axles drilled for BBP, and then do the same with the SBP brakes. Or swap out the rear axle entirely.
