Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Scot,

Picked up the hubs last Friday and they look good. I was going to assemble
them with bearings and studs this week and then mock them up on the OE
spindles that we have here. After proving fitment, we'd be ready to put
them into a real world installation and you're at the top of the list due in
large part to your involvement in getting this project pushed up the
priority list and willingness to give feedback through the development and
installation process.


Sounds like progess too me!

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade

Don't want to kick the horse but nudge someone about the rears when you get your fronts. I've already got the 3/4ton front's, and have to get rid of the drums in the back asap. On a side note, it's nice to see what can be accomplished when everyone works together. Before we were out of luck, now look what we have! Many many thanks and kudos to Scoti!!

yea, x2 on the rears. They are the more "difficult" to gather parts for for the conversion.

Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade

Last e-mail received yesterday morning.....

The hubs are done and assembled. We've just been lacking the time to finish
modifying the spindles and fitting the brackets, but the goal is to get that
done this weekend and get back to you with the results. Assuming everything
fits up as planned, what's your schedule looking like for putting your truck
back together and having things rolling? Ideally, we'd like to get the
first set installed and tested out as quickly as possible as there are a
bunch of folks waiting on this kit. We already have several takers for the
first kit but you've got dibbs at this point and I trust your mechanical
abilities to be better than most and appreciate your input thus far.

Sorry things sort of stalled out over the holidays, but we're back on it and
hoping to make some headway soon.


I'll get back in touch w/him tomorrow & determine a definite time-line for receiving the 'sample' kit. I'm swapping to a Dropmember on my 68 @ the same time so I just might need to swap this initial kit onto my 74 to ensure I meet all the deadline requirements. I'll follow-up as things progress.

Sounds like kits could possibly be available around early spring (not definite, but @ least we're getting closer).

Yep.

C4 calipers/rotors could be considered an improvement vs. OE truck stuff. But, C4 stuff is out-dated compared to C5/6 stuff.
