I am looking at this for my 64 too and when I searched the web it seems everyone is happy with the results. The 64 setup uses Celebrity brakes and rotors as well.

I ran into a minor issue with the supplied bolts being a bit to long but all in all a great setup.
I had the 9" conversion on my race car and they worked great. Other than the thought of brand X parts on your mopar its a nice solution.

..for A body 10" drum cars,you don't even have to take your spindles off. this looks too good to be true. celebrity callipers re-man at $15 - $20 pr. Previa rotors at $40 pr plus pads,master cyl. and scarebirds brackets. The calliper pistons are 2 1/2",which should be fine w/1" master. Anybody put this together yet?...al
Pyp1000 used a Scarebird swapover on a 65 Barracuda with 10" drums. Easy swap, no hassles, used a Volare master cylinder...I've driven the car. It stops straight and quick. Not a road racing setup by any means, but for the money, it's a huge improvement over the stockers. Works with 14" wheels, which is not true of some other change-over setups, and allows you to keep your small bolt pattern wheels if necessary. The usual remarks concerning the necessity to check and if necessary adjust rear wheel brake bias apply.

I'm looking at a kit for my 72 demon, sbp 9 inch drums. I've got 15 inch cragar ss wheels. Anybody have experience with this setup? I emailed scarebird to see if it would work and they said "should, but can't guarantee it with Cragars." So I am hesitant to order unless someone else has done it.
Just read your post. Pyp1000 is running 14" Cragar SS small bolt pattern wheels with the Scarebird conversion. Plenty of clearance, no hassles.

Previa or Celebrity disks, on a SBP? Enlighten me. Is the 5X100mm close enough? Im all over it if they keep the 5 on 4.
Disregard, they use the original drum hub. Im on it.
