One last question? Does it make a difference weather the caliper is on the right or the left. It would be nice to have the bleed screw facing down. From what I can see it does not make a lot of difference to caliper position in relation to the bracket. With the calipers mounted as marked it would place the bleed screw facing up. I have not paid attention to the late 80's earlier 90's vettes to know how there's are mounted but I assume the caliper is on the front of the front rotor not on the rear as our conversion has it.
got the rears done, got the hubs back on with new studs, just have the master cylinder and front calipers to mount then out to try it out.
Thanks Pat

You will want your bleeders up. You will pull your hair out trying to bleed them if you mount them down.

The car came with 9" brakes. These are 3 inches larger than stock. Yes, there will be some issues trying to get that extra inch and a half of clearance. Put a jack under a control arm and see how much of an issue that banjo is. I really hope you're not planning on jumping your car with the wheel at full lock.
The solution to this problem is to weld the lower shock mount higher up on the control arm.

I'm working on carrying brackets, rings, and modified control arms in my webstore. I'll update this thread If/when I get some done.

What do you guys think this swap would cost alltogether. (including the small nickel&dime stuff, i.e.: hoses, bolts, nuts, brake pads, etc.)
