What size rear brake drums on 440-6 E Bodies?

What size rear brake drums on 440-6 E Bodies? - 11/07/10 12:48 AM

What size rear drums did the 1970 440-6 4 speed Dana 60 E Bodies come from the factory with?

What about the 71 440.6 4 speed Dana 60 E bodies?

What about a 70 440-6 auto with a 8.75 rear?

Did the track pack or super track pack have something to do with getting bigger brakes? Or was it just the rear end gear ratio?

Thanks!

If you had drum brakes you 11" brakes all around.

If you have disk brakes you had 10" rear drums (the exception to this is AAR/TA cars, they had 11" rear)

Super track pack required disk brakes.

What width were the original 10" drums???

And what about the 11" drums on the TAs/AArs? What width were those???

I agree with ShakerJoe. I did Body and Paint on a "71 Cuda original 440+6 auto car with 8 3/4 rear and it had the same exact drums as Joe's Cuda...with the fins. I still have one as the owner bought new drums for it and I kept one original.

I'm pretty sure that my 71 440-6 Challenger with A34 Super Track Pack (auto car) has the non finned 10" drums on the back. Coincidently they are off the car due to binding on while stored, so I will post a picture when I get a minute...

My original 70 440+6 A33 car has front disc brakes and 10" rear drum with finned hubs.

I'll takke photos this evening if I have time to go by the shop.
