Mike, isnt the brownie only a .8x ratio for overdrive? Also for the other 5 speeds i assume i would lose my parking brake as mines on the driveshaft but just for fun whst models would be a bolt in swap with a factory v8 bellhousing?. And the cab swap is alot of work yes, but i measured the frsme up on both trucks and its pracrically identical. So as far as mounting goes i would have to fab up some cab mounts to sit it on there. Then deal with clearancing if necessary i know its not going to be a walk in the park like i wish it was haha.
78b, i never tried centering them besides pumping the brakes while i bled them, i figured that was helping me out but its not too hard for that extra step. I have a few options as far as getting these brakes to work properly again. But the more info i have to start with the better off i am. My main concern was vaccum the v8 i will be swapping in has no vacuum. My rear is a vac 2 spd. I hope i can switch it to electric being a corperate 15k chevy rear, and the hydrovac is very expensive to replace. If i go thst route i can get a 1.5" split master from gm and run a hydroboost unit. That keeps my volume where it needs to be and allows an upgrade on the booster. I have built a few cars with hydroboost and ill never go back to a vac system if i can help it.
