In good shape, adjusted properly, with good soft linings the brakes should be fine. If you go fast and haul lots of weight you may want something more.

Your 26 should have a 4 cylinder right?
Switching to a 6 could be a problem with space?

I have a 28 car, last year for the 4 cylinder. But there is already lots of engine room, and a deep fan shroud, as the 28 bodys were getting ready for the new 6 cylinder that was released in 29.

My 28 car is also supposed to be the first year for 4 wheel brakes. Did trucks already have or get front brakes before cars did?
