Awesome! What master cylinder did u go with?
Previous owner had just put a dual pot master on it, drum/drum. I put a new stock brake booster on with the conversion and it works good. Eventually I will put a disc/drum master on.
Does this one allow 14" wheels?

It does not! Minimum 15" wheel

I'm eyeballing their systems too... did you use the powerbrake version or manual? How easy where they to install?
Edit: nvm that question.... might have had one too many beers lol

I've been considering this as well for a while. Glad to hear it went well and you are happy with the product.

Did you go with the 4 or 6 piston kit?

I went with the 4 piston. I wanted to save the $300 bucks and figured the 4piston was already a huge improvement over the drum brakes. Also considering this is going to be a cruiser the 6pistons may be overkill. Just my opinion though

Thanks. Let us know how they perform.

I have been very happy with my Wilwoods.
The 4 piston calipers work perfect to haul my junk down from 120 mph at the strip,
They do take more pedal effort than the drums, but, the 1 1/8" master has a lot to do with pedal effort.

Is this what you ordered? I'm weighing the option of a kit like this vs. going with a 69-72 setup

Yes! But I order the drilled and slotted version . Also don't forget the Braided brake lines

I'm not sure a .810 thick rotor is a great idea for cars that crowd 5000 lbs. The factory rotor is 1.25" thick for a reason.

For a car that will likely never go over 50mph and will just be a cruiser. I think it will be sufficient and much better than the drums.
