Currently working in the engine compartment...
Larger injectors, painting parts, installing engine anti-torque device (Stiffy),
Air intake....
Next is (as I started first) stainless steel mesh screen to the lower grille and main grille area...
Upgrades to the headlights & fog light lamps change out (To yellow) ...bulbs...
Audio is later,
interior design is after that.....

This way you can see all the parts that you need,
Find a wreck , with a good rear end and take the whole rear off with all the components on it... that will save you some $$$

I have been wondering about something from my old damaged brain cells (carbon monoxide) from working in the shops, didn’t disc / drum systems master cylinders have a pressure residual valve in the drum side and no valve on the disc brake side, so on a disc brake conversion wouldn’t you have to remove the valve from the rear brake port or change master cylinders?
I have no problems with the brakes.. all work fine...
IF I also remember right, when before I bought the kit, I asked that same question... and was told ... no... I installed the kit.. and have no brake problems.. only good stopping....

Okay
another item added to the Panel (My SS version)
Light weight alternator pulley..... aaahhhhh
Wonder is GM adding this option to their SS version ?? NOT!
disconnect the battery...
You will need a 13mm wrench, 15/16 big wrench, braker bar, torx bit.
Remove your air filter assembly, relief tension to the serpentine belt, remove the serpentine from the alternator pulley, remove the (3) 13 mm bolts, disconnect the plug connection and power cable. Remove the alternator from the top hood area, replace the pulley.. Install in the reverse order...
