I have a 72k mile survivor that needs some upgrades. I have searched until I'm blue in the face looking for info on upgrading brakes rear ends etc.

i have seen several 61-62 big buicks with c5 front brakes but no info on how they did it????

any ideas on a rear end swap? Buicks off this style have a ******* rear end with zero aftermarket support.

The plan is twin turbo 5.3/4l80e, c5 brakes front, ford 9" rear with c5's, 20" steels with white walls, car already has airride tech setup. Rebuild front suspension, vintage air and call it done.

any buick guru's please chime in with tips.
