OK, this one seems like a question for Alan, but I am sure there are a host
of people that have either done this, or looked into it. I recently have been
assisting a virgin Studebaker owner get the ball rolling on his 1960 Lark VI.
It has a Chevy 350 with a (as I happened to notice) TH700R4 (which could
have been installed better). The car still has the tiny VI brakes and that is
one area we are going to improve on. I have most of the parts left from
the original Mustang GT brakes that donned the Avanti before upgrading to
the massive 13" Cobra dual piston caliper brakes. Since I know the power
setup on the Avanti worked well, I figured it was best for him to adapt the
later swinging pedal assembly, booster, and dual master.
I ASSUME a swap would be pretty straight forward, Studebaker historically
did not have much money, and most running changes were done with little
or no changes to existing parts......
So, whats involved? Is this a non-starter, or a easy 30 minute job?
