Recently swapped to big block - awesome!
The larger motor with headers puts them right next to the brake lines. When the headers are hot, it boils the fluid, leaks from the MC onto the inner fenders, extremely hard pedal, and hardly any stopping power.
I was told the factory put the big block brake lines outside the frame rails with stopped this problem.
I purchased a kit from Fine Lines, Inc. $90 and no instructions and no pictures. Called customer service and he responded, "we just make brakes lines, we dont do drawings." No customer service either!
I was wondering, does any one have a picture, drawing, or sketch to show how the factory did the brake lines outside the frame rails.
Thanks for the help!
