1966 Lemans project - The Felon

[Ricott]

I'm going to need someone to talk me out of going ahead and doing my 4-spd conversion. I have everything but the pedals and linkages, but I can get all the parts I need for $300 shipped.

I also hate that I don't work in manufacturing anymore and work in a consulting engineering firm because I no longer have access to a machine shop. Sure would be nice to not have to pay someone to turn down my front hubs for LS brakes. :(

I have the hubs (and brackets) that you need. My son and I did what you talked about (2000 camaro brakes front and S-10 blazer disk brakes rear) on our 1966 GTO. I also used the 2000 camaro booster and master and an early 2000s reservoir from a smaller chevrolet car (so the hood would clear). Ours worked great for almost 60,000 miles when we upgraded to an AFX type front setup that uses early 2000s Corvette front spindles, rotors, and we used 2006 GTO front calipers. I would be willing to sell the hubs and brackets cheap-I have it all, but shipping would probably be more than you would like to pay. Good luck with your project - and if you can find a LS type 5.3 truckmotor and tranny I cant recommend it enough.

I'll send you a PM! Probably still cheaper than buying anything online. I can make the stuff myself, but I also coach two travel baseball teams so if I can buy stuff for a good price to save time, I'm all over that.

I also plan to keep my old Pontiacs Poncho powered. Nothing against LS motors, I have a nasty 6.0L in my 98 TA, I just dig my old Poncho engines.
