  • Lower BJ's for a 73-87
  • Upper BJ's for 73-87
  • Draglink & tie rods from a 73-87 or tie-rod to spindle adapters
  • Master cyl from a 71-80
  • pwr booster from a 71-72 (if power brakes)
  • Prop valve from a disc brake equipped truck: 71-72 (if mounting @ the master cyl) or 73-80 (if mounting @ the splash apron in the engine compartment)
  • Hard brake lines from a disc brake equipped truck: 71-72 (if mounting @ the master cyl) or 73-80 (if mounting @ the splash apron in the engine compartment)
  • The brake 'push' rod that connects the pedal to the pivot linkage on the firewall may need to be extended (my manual drum brake 68 required extending the rod when I swapped to 73-80 power discs)

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.
