What is this thing in the rear brake line and can it be removed prior to the rear axle flip?
Is it some kind of load sensing brake proportioning valve?

Rear brake bias valve. It's supposed to allow pressure changes to the rear brakes when there's a load on the rear of the truck. What I guessed when I removed mine, was as the suspension squats, the arm on the valve changes its angle which alters flow to the rear drums changing the F-to-R bias.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
