I am not looking to over power the stock brakes, trans or drive line, just something that will make the daily drive a little easyer/safer for everyone around me.

Yes!
First they are undercarburated, low compression, engines with a 62 lb flywheel that will allow them to run on one cylinder. The motors were originally built with poured babbit bearings and they are tough enough to withstand an increase in h.p. My engine (avatar) was an H&H touring engine with counterweighted crank and inserts that didn't hold up because the rear main was oil starved. I fixed the oil problem and kept the Snyders 5.5 head. I replaced the cam with a new Stipe HP350 cam and put a pair of 94s on it with a set of Reds headers. I got a Dan Price 27 lb flywheel that used a late Ford pressure plate and balanced it all. I haven't run it up all the way yet but where it used to go 35 (uphill) it can now do 55mph.
The brakes are stock A brakes and work very well.
