Aluminum intake or drums for sale?

[FlintBuick4Life]

Hey, anyone want to sell an aluminum draw-thru intake? or maybe trade for what ever I got? Also a pair of aluminum break drums would be nice too, if anyone has some? I looked on ebay and found everything but:biggrin:

If I was insane or high on crack, I would buy this one:biggrin:

Easy to ID. They have 1" diameter balance weights welded to them. Usually found on GM's that have alloy wheels and no posi. 3rd gen F-bodies are your best shot. Used on B, C, D, F, and G-bodies with the 4.75 bolt pattern."

Nice Matt. I think the alum drums where aftermarket or maybe a special OEM add-on... maybe both idk, I just know they exist and I want them:biggrin:

The bad part of aluminum drums is if they get hot they can blow up guys. Seen this several times and I'll be running discs on the car on all 4 corners. Just see how it's done in the car thread.:biggrin: I've got an extra set of backing plates off a Blazer for disc if anyone's interested.:biggrin:

i cant wait to see how you do disk in the rear. is it a kit or are you making your own? i might be interested in the backing plates but i will want to see how its done first.

Off a Camaro Matt. I got the backing plates off a Blazer years ago along with a Camaro rear and have been waiting to put them on. Here's a pic of the rear with the wheels I've got.:biggrin:

i have alot of questions like... what year camaro do you get the parts off? will they just bolt up or is there something you have to do? when you do this do you have to change the booster or proportion valve? will everything just bolt up or is there major work?

 

[charlief1]

If you look at the pic you'll notice that the mounting flange is square. You have to cut the original flange up to make the mount fit. If you want to go an easier way you can get weld on mounts that take the same caliper as the fronts on the car or use one off an early 80's Riv or Eldo. The Riv has the parking brake built into the caliper and isn't one of my favorites, but they do work. I will be changing the prop valve to a brass one for disc rears but some say you don't need to.

I forgot to add the disc set up is off a 4th gen Camaro or Firebird. You can also get most of the parts off a last gen Blazer but the discs need to be off a F body.

hey.... when I came up with this idea... I got ridiculed??? whats up? I can steal some dics from a grand am or toronado for like 30 bucks. (rear calipers and equipment not the discs)

Different caliper, different bolt spacing, and not RWD. Not worth the work to make it fit. The Camaro brakes will fit and have been done quite a bit. Do a search for LS1 brakes.

lemme guess... 1994 and newer... huh good idea!!!

Unless you can find some off a 3rd gen Firebird. The 4Th gen are fairly easy to find in salvage and it really isn't that hard to do.

 

[CamoDeafie]

83turbo, make that 1993 and newer, the last of the 3rd gen F bodies are 1992 as far as i know there seem to be plenty of the F bodies in the yards, but they're all missing thier brakes though

 

[dr_frankenstein]

for 300 bucks the speedway disc kit served me well.

but i get a better launch with the surface area of the drum.

but I still need 2 aluminum drums.
