I've got a 10 bolt out of a Old's 442, you don't have to take the cover off the 3rd member to pull the axles. It has held up well in my Olds, I think it will be fine in my 53. I do not like the way the wheel cyl is mounted in the 78-87 Chevelles. They have a tendancey to rock back and forth till they wear out the mounting hole of the backing plate. This causes your cylinder pins to fall out and you will lose your brakes.Joy, when will GM ever recall that?
