[AMC-list] 62 classic brakes on 63 440H

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

hey guys. im trying to get back into my old ramblers, now that my eagles are going pretty decent. got my '63 440H going again yesterday after a 2.5 year or so rest. i forgot how HARD the pedal is to push with manual 9x2 drums. i have a parts car '62 classic with 9x2.5" front drums. i know there are major clearance issues with the steering knuckle. its REAL close. i was just wonderinf if i can maybe swap over the entire hub, brake back plate, drums ect and get the 2.5" drums up front? i THINK the rears are the same? but im not sure as the car dont have the brakes on it, they are in my coveted rambler parts pile. lol. how could i make this car not need both feet stomping as hard as possible to get the car to WHOA!! wondering if the master cylinder from the classic might be bigger bore and work? its been a few years and MANY beers since i messed with master cyl/wheel cyl bore sizing to remember what one wanted to be bigger ect. i still need to figure out
 how to get a title for the car. otherwise, it might get the motor pulled and put into my casper car. (my '62 classic custom 2 door.)
