I think the current brakes are fine. They seem to stop just as well as my 144 with 164 brakes. The only reason I was interested in a brake upgrade was because I need to change all the bushes/ball joints in the front end so I was interested in what else could fit while I had it apart and then the rear end conversion just to keep the brake bias right.

I think a good set of front pads and adjusting the drums will do for now but I love great brakes and I have been know to be a bit hard on them at times......seems that only old volvo brakes can put up with me! :)

As for the cam, I haven't finished the motor yet but I'm going to order a cam from kgtrimning (KG19 312deg intake and 292deg exhaust). I'll tell you how it goes when I install it.

Thanks All!!!!
