Putting a lot of effort into it, as that's what he wants, and it needs new rubber before it hits the road anyway.

Probably just upgrading the front brakes parts wise, and i might use some TA rear rotors, and Regal calipers for the rear, if the drums are in too bad of shape. Otherwise stock sizes here.
True.

The stock 12" rotor fits within the 15" wheels. Larger aftermarket budget friendly big brakes (most common being the 13" rotor/PBR 2-piston caliper) are what require larger wheels. Good quality pads & the HD/1.25" front rotors (which his 74 should have) get the job done just fine.

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.
