My '63 Dodge 330 will be 90% street and 10% strip.

I want something lightweight yet durable as the car is a bare bones lightweight with no heater and radio delete.

It currently has the original drums on the front and big drums from a '71 Chrysler on the rear.

Would Wilwood's Pro Street kit be a good choice?

How about Aerospace?

..or should I find an a-body disc front setup and go with factory pieces?

I`ve been running the Wilwoods street brakes(vented rotors)for many years and havn`t even changed pads yet. I`ve read on hear that there are better systems w/less weight/drag but I`m sticking with what I have for now.

I actually run the stock power drum brakes on my 63 and it stops surprisingly good for drum brakes. I was out of cash when it came to the brakes so I went with the factory setup that was on it. I know they are not as good as disc but they work fine for me even at the track. Ron

I ran 4 wheel drums on mine when it was running mid 10s at 3700 pounds, but I would not recommend it.
I now have Aerospace brakes up front, stock drums out back, and I'm very happy with them. CHIP

You can't drive any of the drag race brakes in the rain. They CANNOT get wet.

Why can't you drive them in the rain?

No rubbers on the caliper bolts I take it?

Aerospace or Wilwood Pro Street kits will work for you. I'm an Aerospace dealer and offer a Moparts discount on them. Let me know if I can help you out.

Yeah, Bill, you're the first one I thought of to order from.

It may be the first of next month but I need to at least get the kit for the fronts.

I have had four wheel factory drums on mine for years. Lighter than the factory Disc. When I was going mid-12 years back, they stopped on a dime both on the street and the strip. I had them adjusted to be draggy for street duty.
Loosen 'em up for the night haunts and the strip.
Now I go...... well..... I don't know, but a lot quicker and they still stop good. I keep them up to snuff with new parts and good HD shoes and drums, plus I respect the horses on the street and have a good 1/4 of a mile to stop on the track.
Make your choice, but always get quality pieces for good peace of mind.

I am real happy with my SSBC set up.Kit was complete with EVERYTHING you need and uses the spindles you now have.Have no problem stopping 3850 lbs @133 mph,or real short stops on the Long Island expressway.

I street drive a little, but race more go 139mph with wilwood disc on all 4 corners.

10" manual drums here . Not as fast as most guys here, but slows my mid 11 sec Dart down just fine.

I went 9.93 at 139 at (for the Ohio guys) dragway 42 with drums on all 4s .. That was not a nice trip. I did break down the next weekend and put 4 wheel discs on it, I went with wilwood, but if I had to do it over I'd use areospace

That type of car is what I designed my Wilwood kit for. It uses the stock rotor so you have the safety factor of the heavier hub and rotor, but the lightweight caliper shaves 20 lbs off the front. Basically a compromise between the stock setup and the full race setup with tiny rotors and aluminum hubs.
