Re: Hemi's 70 Blazer build

Well, I put around 20 miles on it today for a shakedown run. Things were pretty good, but the front brakes suck, so I have a bit more engineering to do. I'm using 2003 twin piston calipers from a GMC Sierra and an aftermarket 1" bore with 1 1/8 stroke master cylinder. The truck does stop, but I can't even lock up the front wheels in sand and the pedal bottoms out the master Thankfully I kept the original master from the 03 donor truck, and was shocked to find out GM used 1 1/4 bore masters with 1 7/8 stroke, and will try that in the morning to see how it works. Best part is that the mount is the same.
I have my fingers crossed.
