The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline C4 IFS/9 inch Ford Rear Master Cylinder

OK as you can probably tell from the title I have a C4 Corvette IFS I am putting in my 49 chevy truck, just bought the actual suspension parts Friday. I am planning on going with a 9 inch ford rear end with a disc brake conversion. My question for everyone, and it might be a question for the company I bought the C4 IFS crossmemeber from, if I was to buy a power master cylinder from a C4 will it work for the 9inch ford rear? I know I could fab the brake lines to work but what about the actual working of the brakes as far as pumping in adequate fluid to the rear brakes. I hope I have explained my acutal question good enough for everyone to understand. Please let me know if anybody has any questions.

The C4 M/C is designed to work with rear disc brakes anyway,it doesn't care what make the brake calipers are.
Even if they are F*rd ones!
It should provide enough pressure and volume for your conversion.

I don't see a problem so long as you use the correct proportioning valve for that M/C, alternatively you could install an adjustable one.

It's the fronts that do the real hard work.
Approx. 80% of braking is provided by the front(usually)

Sweet. Thanks for the information jockbolter
