[MrQuick]

Just checking if anyone has done the swap yet? getting ready to do the swap myself. Let me know if you ran into any problems...cutting it close to track day to find out. TIA

Vince,
Are we talking 3rd gen. f-body?

If so, then yes I've done the swap and have the brackets as well.

See picture below.

The swap follows the same formula as the other C5 swaps. Pretty straight forward actually. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Hey Joe, where ya been?
Well I have most of the stuff I need, Im working on my my brackets this right now and all that I need to figure which position is best to avoid arm or frame to caliper contact. My brackets are 1/4" think. Are your brackets 5/16"?
Well after looking over the 3rd gen sites im still unsure about a couple things.
I have both prop/combo valves 1LE and stock disc/drum. Which one do I use? I was going to use the drum/disc one to start then try the 1LE if it didn't work.Im kinda pressed for time now that I decided to go farther with this build up.
Also would like info on whick park brake...I assume the 1LE ones will work since im using 95 PBR calipers in the rear. thank you

Vince,
I've just been lurking every once in a while.

Run the disc/drum prop valve.

What year is your F-body?

The 1LE cables can work, but you might see if the ’93-’97 are cheaper and try those out. They will be slightly longer as the track width increased on the 4th gens.

If you are pressed for time I can get the brackets to you at cost. I’m just an enthusiast here trying to help out others.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks Joe, i'll go with the disc/drum ones.
Its an 84 z. I have my brackets cut out and drilled for the spindle, just gotta drill the caliper holes now. Thanks for the offer.
I've got alot to do, the car is without front and rear suspension, no wiring, and half the engine is apart...its ok I have 2 1/2 weeks to go. DOHHH!
I can wait on the park brake cause its a track only car now.
