MrMack Registered: 12/14/01 Posts: 11880 Loc: Central Texas	Well there are some members of VCCA that appreciate the kind of modification you are looking to do. Have you tried getting info at other Chevrolet sites? Most of us are not into doing them. _________________________ Lone Star Region Chat Group Chapter member http://www.lsrclub.org Life's a long winding trail, ride a good horse!

Chipper Registered: 11/22/01 Posts: 10239 Loc: The Great State of TEXAS	Vorty, The vast majority of people on this site do not have a lot of experience upgrading mechanical parts. Some have changed from drum to disc so one of them may see your post and respond. You likely will find better response on another site. Can't imagine that there is not a bolt on change that can be made I just don't know what it might be. _________________________ How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
