S-10 Disk Brakes
Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 4:53 pm
I'm a new member as of today. The car I have a question about is a 1980 Chevrolet Monza. It has been modified with a GM Performance Parts ZZ2 crate engine, BW T5 transmission, S-10 5-bolt axles and brakes. I use 15" Monte Carlo Rallye wheels.
I purchased a Richmond ring and pinion from Jim in 2006 and will install it soon. I plan to remove the rear end housing from the car and do the work with the housing out of the vehicle. At this time I will sand blast the housing, repaint it and install new bushings at the suspension points upon reinstallation.
My question is about rear disk brakes. Will S-10 2WD or 4WD work with this housing? Has anyone attempted to use S-10 components for the rear disk brake modification? I'm installing 2004 S-10 2WD dual piston front brakes and spindles also, so I would like to use matching components.
Any help in determining if this will work (fairly easily) would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
