... bendix boosters & parts , thinking  of adding power brakes to my drums , for now , till I get all the planets / ducks in a row for discs & hydroboost one day  

I haven't noticed much if any difference in braking ability or effort.

 thanks for the info Troy  ,  given me something to think about now , fitting a bendix booster 

Appreciated

This is the simple route to a 426 hemi  http://www.stagev.com/pages/hcheads.html

A lot of money for a the look of, but not a real 426 Hemi.     It is not a bolt on proposition.

I think this is a great idea - but I have never found Stage V wanting to sell them anymore. 440 are plentiful and HEMI heads would be awesome. You really can't tell the difference. I think the HEMI is a crime (I own one) for the cost.

Troy, how are the race wheels working out?   They look very nice.   Did they balance?

Not very well... Not sure how Steve drive with them. I may have to take the tires off and see which one is not true. Otherwish, I will purchase the version BART makes that look similar to the '70-earlier "Steelie". That way too I can get something with a backspacing of 4.25 or 4.50. The 4.0 I have on there now will cause the front tires to rub the wheel lip and that's not good. I prefer the lower stance of the car. If I get the other wheels, then they won't do that since I can have them made 15x8 with a 4.25 or 4.50 backspacing. But, the race look with lugnuts is the way I like it. I doubt I'll ever go back to the magnums on this car...........
