Rear Blazer brake swap

[rose350]

I finally got my rear Blazer disc brake swap completed. I have to plumb my Wilwood proportional valve today.

Looks great man...nice clean installation. Did it require drilling and modifying the axle flanges...or was it pretty much a bolt on affair?

Oh, the calipers look amazing.

Nice job! Where did you get the oldsmobile decals at? I've been hunting for something like that for front calipers but no such luck yet. Also, are they the high heat kind?

Yes they are high heat. Here's the link to where I got them. I emailed them with specific measurements instead of the standard ones that they sell in their package. I have C5's on the front with a bigger decal.http://www.vinzdecals.com/createcaliper.html

Thanks for the link! I've got the blazer front swap stuff ready to go on my cutlass, this will make it easy since the calipers are sitting in my shed. Or should i call it, the cuTTlass as I'm doing a 5.3 swap and will be putting twins on it.

I guess my question is invalid...

Sorry man....I must have not seen your question. You have to cut the top section of the flange off about where you see the curved step so it will sit flush behind the new backing plate. The bottom 2 holes get drilled out to 3/8" and you have to mark a drill 2 new 3/8" holes for the top. You will also have to relocate your shock which mine already was.

Got the proportional valve plumbed up

Thanks man, I appreciate it. So, it pretty much entails the same mods to the flanges as if you were doing F-body rear discs...okay, gotcha.

Nice job plumbing the proportioning valve. No need to crawl underneath the car to adjust brake bias...cool.
