    65 Gran Sport Hard Top. Single pot non-power assist drum brakes....

    I have a set of 70 Chevelle spindles, rotors and calipers collecting dust in the corner.

    Why wouldn't transplanting this entire assembly work?

    Thanks,

    You will also need the corresponding M/C & maybe even the power booster.

    Would using the 70 Chevelle assemblies change the track width?

    Oh, almost forgot, the 401 has developed a rod knock, so I will be doing a rebuild. Planning on installing a Holley Sniper EFI w distributor. have a spare manifold I have doc mod'ed.
