Can anyone help with advice on front brakes for my project hk ute. It currently has drums with no booster. Some say hq will fit some say hj and hz? I am confused. Will be powered by a SBC or 308 @ approx 400hp.

Stunpy, HQ, HJ, HX, HZ and WB are all the same basic stubs and discs. The calipers change style and manufacturer along the way.
