I have a 50 Crestliner with the 8BA motor and was wondering what type of rearend is under it? Also what is the lug pattern as I am wanting to put in a disc conversion on all four corners. Shes up and running but I blew a brake line so am looking to put in stainless steel lines. Thanks for the help trevor

TSO, The standard car had a 3.73 rear ratio and with OD it was 4.10. With Fordomatic it was either 3.31 or 3.54. Don

When converting to disc brakes, be sure to include a correct proportioning valve. This regulates pressure between the front and rear brakes. Conversion kits contain these, or you can get them from Dave Wilton, who advertises in the V8 TIMES.

With your car I would say that discs on all four corners is "overkill". With the drum rear and disc front you car will stop just as good as any new car on the road.
