discs on rear drums on front will it work??
 

I am in the process of tubbing my car,and have gotten to the point where I need to figure out what to do with my brakes.The car is a '48 Olds.Had a 10 bolt in it before and was running stock '74 Nova on the rearend.Front end is still bone stock '48 with drums.Got a 9" in it now.I am planning to go discs on all four corners eventually.But for now,would it hurt to go ahead and buy a disc brake setup for the rear and leave the drums up front?Do ya'll think it would act stupid when I go to stop?

if you used this http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku I would think you could adjust them were it would work fine!!!!!!

That's the same idea I had.You know rails only run rear brakes anyways.Of course they don't weigh 3000 lbs either :roll:

Last time I wieghed it she was 3125.That was with 2 full NOS bottles,Full 16 gallon fuel cell,and one battery.Since then I have backhalved it,added a 10 point cage,lost the NOS,went with aluminum heads,lost the inner fenders,went to plexiglass windows.Don't know what it will weigh now,but I know just the side windows and rear glass wieghed 78lbs.And my windows are tiny,about 14" tall!!!I'm trying to get down to that Ranchero wieght category

LOL LOL -OLDS48-----I MEANT YOU WIEGH 3000 LBS!!!!!--YOU ONE BIG GUY :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ----LIVELY-ONLY KIDDING

:oops:
