Vette brakes on a 9" Ford
I run a 68 Firebird in NASA-SE and also plan on running in HSR.
HSR rules require me to use OEM Period Correct brakes. I have a set of Iron 4 piston front Calipers off a 67 Firebird, same caliper as a Vette used I believe.
But what's involved in installing Vette rear Calipers on a 9" Ford rear? I can use up through the 70's calipers.
What Rotor options do I have, are different offsets available? My rims have limited space for 4 piston calipers to clear the rim spokes.
I can have the rear end housing flanges or caliper mounts set about anywhere, it hasn't been built yet.
Thanks a bunch in advance.
BTW, I did own a 59 283 dual quad Vette if that keeps me from being a Troll
