Sounds like a great plan.
I'm in the middle of converting to Hydroboost and installing a set of 13 in Wilwood discs on my 56 Olds.
Should be done next week. I'll post the results.

I bought the setup from a buddy that had it in his '86 SS. I'm using '81 El Camino pedals, an '83 F-body bellhousing, and a rebuilt World Class T5. My buddy cut and welded my stock crossmember, so it's basically a bolt in. Not too bad at all!

Nice Monte!! I believe that we are becoming very popular! My LT1/T56 conversion is getting near done! Ssteve and John Bzdel from the Monte list have been very helpful! BTW, my present sticky point is obtaining a TBI fuel tank sending unit, I've gotten all dead ends, HELP!! thanks!!
