Here is a old name, Stainless steel brakes corporation.
Yours is a I6 and if you are going to put in a V8 you will need change more parts. This would be the time to doing it now

Why? in my opinion the 9" is really only useful if you are going to put some real power in there.

I was just thinking that if you go that far , you might as well.
If your not putting in a V8, I would only put the front disc brakes on and forget the other stuff. You don't really need it. Spend your money on some other mods.

Not much better. Put a T-5 (5 speed) in with the V8. If you put I6 upgrade brakes on, you might have to redo them when you put a V8 in. Just trying to save you some money later on. When you order the brakes, ask about what you would have to do to upgrade to a V8 on those brakes.

They were for me in GA. You guys have more cars out there. I don't have to tell you this because you know, but race people like the ford 9" and they take them just for the chuck so the can change gears quick and easy.

yepp.
pop out the axles and i think its like 9 bolts and youve got yourself a gear change in 30 minutes max dana rear ends are the only thing thats stronger, the only reason why they dont use them is because it takes so long to change ratios
