Did the LS1 upgrade kit on my 85 from Ed Miller. The difference is amazing.

He's good too, I got some C5 adapters from him and they are great, and his customer service is very good. Keep in mind, I am from Australia too.

i have ls1 kit and is doing the job, no problem with contact or shipping, all parts are good quality. it is good to take steel brake lines, and change brake fluid to a better one like Motul RBF600, with ordinary fluid those brake are not as good as they should be

well iam getting the rear end off an lt1 and it comes with all the brakes for 75 bucks off a friend who is doing the ls1 brakes on a ws.6 what exactly would i need to put lt1 front brakes for now?

do i need to modify my spindle... i know i got to buy the brackets and do i need to change the lines

My setup is just about complete. I have made everything myself. I turned the rotors on the brake lathe to get a hub, modified my spindles, made brackets out of steel and cut them out with a plasma cutter. It is a fun process. Everyone at work has been telling me that it won't work. Then I get something done, and they are like, wow that's cool. Everyone said the same thing when I did the motor swap too. I think it's funny. Anyway, just wanted to share. So when people tell you it can't be done, just try harder to prove them wrong.

anyone one know where i could get lt1 conversion brackets?


i love when people tell me i cant do it gives me more inspiration!!

I don't know if anyone makes a kit for that. The LT1 brakes aren't really that good from what I hear in the first place. I'd probably wait on a LS1 conversion or just stick some good pads on the stockers.

Yep, don't waste time trying to fit LT1 FRONT brakes, they're no better than your stock setup.

yea i was comparing today at some random junk yard and noticed no difference iam going to save up for the ls1 but what i dont get is what do i got to do to the spindle to fit the ls1 brakes

84ls1_transam

It's not all that expensive. So far I have $50 into my set. Why I did, I cut off the rotor part with a brake lathe and just ran the outside in all the way. Then I took a hammer to seperate the rotor from the hub. Then I turned the drum cutting tool around and machined the hub. It took me about 45 minutes for the first one, getting the machine set up, and about 20 min on the second while working on other vehicles. Then I just installed longer studs. $14 from napa.

o doesnt sound to bad do you know anybody who makes them and sells them done because between work and schoool i rarely have time to go to my school shop to make them

That seems to be the most popular and well liked. I just didn't feel like spending the money on something I could do.

irocboy8292

yea i get how you feel iam the same just have no time and no more access to a lathe anymore iam just going to fix the stockers a bit and little by little do the spindles in the lathe in my school
