I'm working with Scott at Bigbrakeupgrade to get an ls1, ctsv park brake set up. This will work on 3rd and 4th gen set ups.

I think this is what you mean? http://www.flynbye.com/catalog/i182.html

So I pick up some 12" C4 rotors and LT1 calipers and I'm set? I quick read an install and the axle shafts come out, right?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Those are for drum rear (those are the plates I run)

You would need http://www.flynbye.com/catalog/i196.html but you might want to email Ed to verify they are for the LT1 style caliper. Unless you buy used, most places have a core charge on the LT1 calipers or a high price ($130 each) but I happen to have a set of cores...for a fee of course!

I'm still up in the air about switching over to my LS1 rear brakes or keeping the LT1/C4 setup for the time being.

[Lortay5408]

Roger. I don't have the cash for the rears just yet so I'm just going to focus on the fronts for the time being. How much of a job is taking the axles out and putting the rears all together?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

Axles can be pulled in 15 minutes or less. Figure another 1.5-2 hours for cleaning, assembly, fluids, and bleed.

[Lortay5408]

Cool. This will hopefully be a late summer project.

You are planning on running C4 rotors and LT1 calipers on the front?

[Gregs_gsxr]

post 37 looks to be LS1 on front

[Lortay5408]

LS1 rotors/calipers up front. Mike has talked me into C4 rotors/LT1 calipers in back.

Master cylinder took a dump today. Ordered one to replace on Saturday.

[Lortay5408]

Replaced the master cylinder today. Decided to not bleed the brakes so hopefully it forces me to upgrade to ls1 brakes soon��

[C2YT]

But bleeding brakes is so much fun! Me and my twin just got done bleeding his 78' corvette brakes like 4 times LOL

[Gearhead4life]

power bleeders are awesome !

Hey guys,

I need to grab some roller lifters here pretty soon, and the prices made me cry.
Would it be a bad thing if I went with these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/su...make/chevrolet ?

Not really looking to spend 200 bucks on the name brand stuff if I don't have to. Gotta save the pennies to pay [MENTION=3564]hoogiesngrinderz[/MENTION] for the injectors and help

[hoogiesngrinderz]

I've reused 5 sets of lifters after inspecting them. Only found one set to have any bad markings on the rollers, the rest I soaked in mineral spirits and agitated then placed them in a fresh vat of oil.

If you want new just get the LS7 lifters. I've never bought new myself...well, I did pull a set off the assembly line once

[Lortay5408]

I still have your LB9 roller lifters. Those might work.
