Yes we have. Actually we have had this on a couple of trucks in the shop so far, and yes there is plenty of room for headers and exhaust, but it will have to be custom made (obviously). I do not know if a set of full lenght headers will fit, but I know a set of shorties, and mid length do work.

for disc/drum this one will work just fine.

Yup, same price

I got this info from inlinetube.com. The following info is for 4 wheel disc.

First, we will need a 2lb residual valve after the MC, one on the front and one on the rear line. This is what they look like. They are $22.00 each.


Then on the rear line only we will need a adjustable proportioning valve. Price on this is $49.00 Here is a pic:


Here are the descriptions from inline on each:

Street Rod Valve Notes:
The adjustable valve is designed for both street rods and conversions using factory front brake lines. Of all the disc brake conversion configurations, using the adjustable proportional line valve is typically the easiest proportioning solution because it is installed anywhere in the rear lines between the master and the rear hose and controls only the pressure to the back brakes. No line pattern changes are necessary for installation. The front brakes get full pressure and the rears are turned down until they do not lock up and provide a smooth stop. Adjustment depends on tire, caliper and rotor size and is different for all cars. Adjustable valves can also be used on factory or race cars to fine tune the rear brakes or because of mismatched components.

Residual Valves:
These valves are used in brake systems where the master cylinder is mounted lower than the calipers, typically under the floor. This is a check valve that keeps either 2lb (disc) or 10lb (drum) of pressure in the system to prevent the fluid from running back and overflowing the master cylinder. These valves should be mounted as close as possible to the master before the proportioning valve. These valves are not needed on firewall mounted master cylinders.

And here is a diagram:

Yes, that info is all correct. I do not know about inlinetube.com, but we stock Wilwood residual pressure valves in both 2lb and 10lb. We also stock adjustable proportioning valves. Heck, I bet we have 200 of them dang things in stock. Remember, we have a full warehouse full of parts. Basically if you need it, we probably have it.....steering wheels, columns, u-joints, brakes, firewalls, etc..

With the offset pedal the way it is now, you will still either need to buy and aftermarket brake pad, or buy our brake pad that accepts your factory rubber pad.

jeph how much for your residual valve and your proportioning valve, assuming we get the group buy thing going?

I know Justin will let me sell the prop valves for $40.00, but I'll need to check on the residual valves. I am pretty sure I can get away with $19.00 a piece.

that sounds good to me, thanks

what we looking like on the group buy numbers on this unit?

Same as the original booster set up. I just don't have those ready yet. I will have them done this week though.

For anyone that is in the group buy, PM me and give me your information or call me at 805-200-6734. I am going to go ahead and keep the price on the table for another week, but I would like to take care of those who would like to buy now.

Sweet. Any progress shots of the firewall? Nice to see some new custom parts coming down the pipeline

Some common parts needed when going very low on the front with these trucks are hood hinges and inner fenderwells. If you had a nice, clean way of doing that, I know a lot of folks would be interested.

Sorry for my ignorance, but would that mean if running disc/drums you would need a 2lb residual valve for the discs (front lines), and a 10lb residual valve and one of those snazzy little adjustable proportioning valves for the drums (rears)?

I will have the same setup so interested as well.

Exactly. you will want to run a 2lb up front, and a 10lb for the rear; the adjustable prop valve will also go to the rear.
