  Hello Roadsterites,

  I have a couple of questions that may have been answered in the past. First,
are there any front disk brake caliper upgrades that can be done to a '66?  I
have a '73 240Z with dual piston Toyota 4X4 calipers on the stock 240Z rotors.
I was wondering if there was any similar swaps that can be done to improve
braking performance for Roadsters. 
  Secondly, how much HP can the stock solid rear differential handle?  I am
currently building a Buick 215 aluminum block V8 that will push at least 200
HP and up to 250-275HP.  I want to make sure the rear can handle it, and if
not...ugh.  Shortening a Ford 9" or Chevy 12 bolt is expensive.
  Thanks for any info.

  Stan Wada
