www.mpbrakes.com is a very good company for brakes.
I have a $25 discount coupon: NEXTORDER
A GM Performance Parts crate motor gives you a great warranty. I would find a
local builder for the 700-R4 transmission for warranty reasons.

Thanks for the quick response. Sorry I sounded so dumb. Thanks to
everyone who helped me with my questions. I really appreciate the help.
I will let everyone know how it turns out. Hopefully it will be completed
in plenty of time to get some good summer cruising in.

They are the same. Disk brakes did not come on a 65 Chevelle but 69 Camaro
are the same so if you are talking to a regular parts house they will not
find a listing for your car. Right Stuff of course understands this so order
the kit for your car. Sorry about the confushion.

I am confused. Why would I get Camaro spindles for a Chevelle? I checked
their website and their disc brake conversion kits are the same price.
Thanks,

These guys are great. http://www.getdiscbrakes.com/RightStuff/Default.aspx
I suggest the kit that uses 68-69 Camaro spindles for cost. If you are going
all out get the tall spindles and tubular control arms.

Hello everyone,
I am a reading person on the list and not so much of a contributer but I
would like your opinions. I have a 65 Chevelle and it currently has a 350
with a powerglide. Everything is getting tired. I want to overhaul and
stroke the engine by a local engine builder. Plans are to do the rebuild
this summer because he builds alot of racing engines and winter is his busy
time. He said it will have between 425 to 450 horsepower.
I want to put in a 700R4 transmission for better highway cruising. I have
looked at many different transmission companies. Has anyone ever used
Monster transmission? They seem to have decent prices and kits to complete
the conversion.
I would also like to upgrade to front disc brakes. Brakes really confuse
me. I see a really big range of prices. I do not need the high end brakes
just better than drums can offer.
I am also thinking about a March serpentine belt system. Of course, next
comes the rear end rebuild with a posi-unit. Any suggestions on gear ratio?
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated,
Russ
