That is cool! I'd have to do something like this.... and leave the body all crunchy for a while.

Progress! Left Rear rebuilt! Left Front drum off. This took drilling out the pins from the back, loosening the adjuster, using a pry bar and hammer, a screw driver around the outside, then the pry par and hammer again, and finally I got the drum off the lugs but the shoes were still engaged so I put a screwdriver through a lug hole and hammered the shoes out of the drum. I discovered that my front bearings must be shot because they sound horrible now. It could have been from removing the drum but they were to be replaced anyway.

Nice

i don't get the comment about not finding a diaphragm clutch on a funny car. i don't see how that has anything to do with a street or even a street/strip application.

Love those effies and a hot y block would be great.

I'm jealous. I've got a fresh .030-over fuel injected 5.0L sitting in the garage just looking for a good home like that. Neat project, have fun!

Phil, I just used a small zip tie and attached the top of the spring to the brake line next to the retaining clip. It works well and when you apply the brakes the spring just moves to suit and then when you let the park brake off it lifts it up to clear the exhaust. Stops it resting on the exhaust.
