Re: Scorpion brakes on GE Sigma?

It helps some, though of course all of our Challenger/Sapporos and GE equivalent Sigma wagons over here have the Jap diffs as far as I know. We never had the BW transmissions or rear ends over here.

Scorpion brakes on GE Sigma?

Is it possible to transfer the rear disc brake setup from a Scorpion over to a GE Sigma? From what I can tell at least a GE/GH Scorps to the GE Sigmas have the same rear axles, but of course the Scorps have disc while the sigmas have drums. So I'm wondering if I acquire all the brake parts for a Sco...

GC Hardtop/GD headlight bucket spacing

On those cars, how far from the radiator core support are the buckets spaced out? If I recall they stick out a fair amount on brackets vs right on the support as on a GB Galant nor are they removable.

Doing the quad headlight conversion on my coupe using GB buckets and kinda need this info.

Re: Seeking proof of factory GC with 4g52

The 1974 to early 77 Colt GTs and Colt Carousels came standard with the 4g52 in the US. These would be the GC equivalents since we didn't get a quad headlight (GD/GC hardtop) version here for 74-77 Galants. It was also an option on sedan and wagons here.

however the ratio of failures to Good turbos is far far far less than failures to Ebay turbos, that it shouldn't even be a consideration to risk any sort of damage to your engine.

I call it the party roof because of its location. Haven't found any actual rust yet but nor have I looked real hard, because that isn't really an issue in the region of the US I amlocated. I'll look into a trans cooler and servicing it.
