I run '32/34 front brakes on two of my cars. and '35 brakes on the Coupe. All fitted with Ted's floaters. They work well, but the downside is nobody repros the drums.

If it was a marine conversion that might account for the lack of a water pump, but, that said - aluminium head wouldn't last long in a boat I guess. I've just stripped an industrial B engine that was...

Re: 3.27 Ring and Pinion
I run a 3.27 under the back of my Coupe. Stock A gearbox, with a tuned B engine. Probably around 70hp or so. Cruising at 55-65 is no problem and I've had no problems climbing hills when we've run...
