Nicely done. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the 8" at the horsepower levels most people run, particularly on the street. You probably worked harder than most to clean the inside of the housing, but that's a good thing. Budgets matter, but if at all possible I think 4 wheel disk brake conversions are highly beneficial to mix old cars into modern traffic. I refuse to be that guy with a car that's very cool standing still but a 50mph roadblock on the freeway.

Thank you, and I agree. It’s all about having a fun car to drive that is as safe as we can make them.

Wow, how nicely done and well presented. I really like the way you did the work and put the effort into the whole process mechanically and then the production of the video.. no overpowered music, and lots of intelligent commentary... BRAVO Sir.

I've been looking at brake conversations and this is the best video I've seen so far. Great job! Can you tell us Leed's part number for this kit?

@cvclassics Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I will look at the shop and see if I have any paperwork from that kit. If I find the part number I will post it here.

@@cvclassics Any luck on that part number?

No sorry I didn’t find it. Call Summit racing and let them know the rear end you have and they will hook you up. They have always been a pleasure to deal with in my experience.

Thanks for the inspiration, why not use a Lube Locker gasket. You may have changed my mind to go with a built QP 8". Their 9" is nice, but it's heavy.

Glad you liked the video. I don’t have anything against the Lube Locker, already had several of the old school gaskets. I will probably try the Lube Locker in the near future on an upcoming build. I thought about converting to a 9 inch as well and had the same thought related to the weight. Wanted to keep my weight down and the 8 should work just fine for my current plans.

No grease on the axle splines? I wonder, do you know how to check the rearend housing axle tubes for straightness?

I would check with a shop that specializes in rear ends

great video! where can i find that vent tube/brake line assembly.

@cvclassics 10 ай бұрын

National Parts Depot, give them a call and tell them you are looking for a vent tube and rear V8, duel exhaust, flex line. The vent tube holds it in place. Good luck in your project!

What range of horsepower are these factory 8" rearends good for? I just bought a 65 C code mustang and cant imagine building anything over 350hp. Awesome video by the way!

It all depends on how hard you plan on driving/racing it. If it’s a track car with slicks definitely go 9 inch. Street car with stock or close to stock tires, 8 inch is a great rear end. Street cruiser 350 to 400 hp should be fine. The build for the car in the video is a street car with 429 hp and tq.
