4th gen f body will be the least expensive and most complete. If you';re not good at fab and mod work you'll need someone to help you.

I was thinking about getting the same Kit from summit. Did you get the AFXRD78 kit? and if so how did it work out?
I would like to keep my stock t type wheels. If I go with Fbody disc conv would need 16in on up wheels???

decided to hold off for a while had some unforeseen expenses pop up maybe next year

Before I did the original conversion on my axle I tried a set of vectors on. The brakes were still on the F body axle so I was able to check the clearance and there were no issue that I could see.

I bought the right stuff kit RSD-AFXRD78 it work just great the modification needed was to the remake brake lines along rear. I had some broken bolts when removing axles and old brake set up(PIA).

What size wheel are you able to fit. Does the 15 have enough clearance or did you have to go to 16

Nice kit. Is that a zinc coating on the adapter plate and caliper bracket? Does it have a working emergency brake?

 

[pacecarta]

I am still using the the stock t type 15in wheel, with 275/60/15 Mickey T drags no rubbing and non rolled quaters.

It does come with ebake cables but they will need some modification to work, sorry I forgot to mention that it original post

 

[steven kut]
