so i did a lot of reading yesterday and went through a bunch of old posts...
the stock MC and booster is OK
better yet is the dual diaphragm 9" booster, and if you upgrade to disk rear, you can use a disk/disk MC from a 79 vette apparently.
as for everything else, you will need a disk/disk prop valve.
this is from LS6 Tommy, and its all the parts you need for the 1LE swap
Here ya go:
Spindles and calipers are from 78-90 full size Caprice, Caddy, Delta 88, and Pontiac. Typically wagon, police or with HD towing package.

i do wonder, he says that with his upper control arms, you need to ream the spindle for the larger ball joints, is there a ball joint that we can replace his with that wouldn't require the spindle to be reamed?? :-k :-k :-k
