Wayne - sounds like you are on a real tight budget. So get real! Your first consideration needs to be how much are you going to spend on BRAKES!! Everything else aside, you have to think of you and yours and safety. And getting these old Chevys to whoa!, is real hard to do with those old drum brakes. Need to upgrade to a minimum of discs on the front and larger drums out back. Contact
www.ecihotrodbrakes.com These guys make the brake parts that everybody else will try to sell to you. Deal with the source of new brake parts directly. Once you have the stopping from 60+ MPH figured out, the drivetrain stuff is easy. Think Chevy!
