Whats up guys. Im giving a breath of new life to my 79... the works. A new zz 383 with march serpintine pullies, all chrome accessories, hooker headers and sidepipes!! I know I have no pics Ill post some soon. Any ways, I have a set of willwood disk brakes on the way, from master cylinder to 13" disks and 4 piston calipers. I've heard that its pretty simple to swap over and Ive heard its a pig also. I want to know if anyone has upgraded their brakes and if it was a simple swap, and if there is anything I need to know in advance. Thanks in advance!!

Did you order a kit somewhere? I think you need adapters for the different calipers.

I want to do the same thing, but I don't race so it would be a huge amount of money to spend for me on a street car. But I do think I'd feel the difference in unsprung weight.

Please keep us posted with your experience installing them.

I have just upgraded my '69 to Wilwoods (complete system, as you are planning). Got mine from Precision Brakes, so all brackets, etc. were included. It truly was a bolt-on system, I just needed to get one fitting for the rear braided hose. The hardest part of the swap was getting the OLD EXISTING BOLTS LOOSE !!!.......use a large breaker bar, air ratchet if available, PB Blaster, line wrenches, and patience.
