Sadly my neighbor at this moment has an '86 all black SS that had a built 350 4bbl and a swapped and built 4spd auto, sitting in their driveway steadily turning into dirt... nice to see a car I hardly see any more, even at shows, in such nice condition.

You did have another option with the brakes. Unless you were 100% against not having power brakes. You could have went with a different master cylinder (bore size ) then change the brake pedal ratio to generate a lot more psi with a lot less pedal effort. Im doing a 59 Vette on a AM chassis and made my own pedal set up that hangs from the front hoop on the roll bar. All around that area with the steering column, clutch and brake pedals as well as the gas pedal. I dumped the drive by wire as well. There is zero room to start with. Then I had to widen the tunnel to make room for the TKO 500 5speed. You put all that together and leg room get tight quick. Then through the fire wall is even less room on the engine side. due to the narrow wheel wells. So I opted to go with the C6 Vette upgraded EBC 13.5 and 12.0 front and rear rotors and ZO6 calipers. Then a big bore Willwood master cyl with a 7;1 brake pedal ratio. I have a 10:1 location point, and room for another up or down from either of those. So my fire wall is very clean with no big power brake booster and all the other crap that goes with it. So the brakes are manual but 1lbs from you foot as it is set up now will make 7psi at the master.
