Default Aussie El camino

Hey guy. Luv this site. I currently own a work in progress '64 El camino. I have a brand new 500 hp 383 with a stage II turbo 350 w 3200 stall. Slowly renewinf or upgrading bits n pieces. I have coil overs all round on the way from Jay at SpeedTech, who is great to deal with and looking forward to buying more of his products as the bank account allows. Next will be a brake upgrade. Any suggestions? Keep my budget in mind ;]Name:  stuff 001.JPG

welcome to the site! Let us know your budget for the brakes. You can go as cheap as swapping stock later model GM disc brakes up front, to C5/6 Vette brake swaps, and all the way through the aftermarket stuff, tons of options.

Upgrading the brakes is a great idea. I had a 65 El Camino, and I remember the times that car wouldn't stop when driven "spiritedly".

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Hey Oz ,
depending on your budget and your suspension upgrades , I would suggest you look at Kore 3 big brake kits , Tobin is a great guy to deal with.
