No need to swap out the diff. Just get the axles redrilled and use HQ-WB drums, leaving the HK backing plates. Change to HQ-WB rear wheel cylinders also (bigger bore).
Front discs and calipers bolt straight on, just swap side for side with the calipers |

re drilling the stud pattern is quite easy if you are confident doing so or you will have to pay someone. might be cheaper to do what i did found a 69 camaro diff 10 bolt stronger then HQ and already have hq stud pattern. i bought mine which was 3.08 open |
Havent you learnt anything from that guy that gives sermons at church?...Captain whats his name. |
