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.

I liked the look of OE sized front rotors in 18" wheels & the HD drums in 20's. I had that combo on my old 74 & thought the proportions looked fine (= WTF out of place).

Re: 2wd swap

It's going together with the parts we have. If it stops weird I'll put the slotted stuff on my 73 and do something different on the k5
Was looking at afco calipers 1.25 rotor 4 piston deal.

Re: 2wd swap

Just need to calc the dual smaller pistons vs. a D52 big piston & see what difference there is.
