116-0208-Speed-H/OStainless Steel Brakes 116-0208-Speed-AWhat it is: Force-10 direct replacement calipersWhat it fits: Most '60s-and-up GM musclecars with stock brakesFeatures: Disc brakes were a great option to have on your mid-'60s musclecar. They probably even saved your life a few times. But if you think your stock discs are good, you probably haven't driven a modern car for a while. Good news-Stainless Steel Brakes has an easy way to bring your muscle-era brakes into the new millennium. Stock, heavy iron calipers can't compete with the aluminum Force 10. You can even bolt a dual-piston Force 10 caliper in place of single-piston stockers. They're much lighter than the stock parts, fitted with bind-free stainless steel pistons, and, best of all, they'll drop right in place of the archaic stockers.Contact: Stainless Steel Brakes Corp., Dept. CC0208, 11470 Main Rd., Clarence, NY 14031, 800/448-7722, www.ssbrakes.com

Edelbrock116-0208-Speed-IWhat it is: Fuel line and filter kitWhat it fits: Edelbrock Performer series carbsFeatures: Put away the rubber hose-for good. Edelbrock has put together a kit that will complete your Performer carb installation easily and professionally. The kit features a chromed hard-steel fuel line attached to a high-quality Russell aluminum fuel filter to trap fuel-borne crud before it enters your carb. The fuel line is pre-bent to snake underneath the carb linkage for a clean, compact installation. If you're running an Edelbrock street fuel pump, Edelbrock offers pre-fitted braided stainless fuel lines to complete the fuel system.Contact: Edelbrock, Dept. CC0208, 2700 California St, Torrance, CA 90503, 310/781-2222, www.edelbrock.com

TCI116-0204-Speed-G (T/K)What it is: High-strength, low-drag torque converterWhat it fits: Popular transmissionsFeatures: TCI has re-engineered its 10-inch Street Fighter converter for faster street/strip performance and better reliability. It's built with furnace-brazed fins for strength and durability, and supported with low-friction Torrington bearings for less drag and heat buildup. The higher stall speed will hack away at your e.t., but it's tight enough to maintain good street manners.Contact: TCI Automotive, Dept. CC0204, 151 Industrial Dr., Ashland, MS 38603, 662/224-8972, www.tciauto.com

GM Performance Parts116-0204-Speed-H (T/K)What it is: Forged 383ci crankshaftWhat it fits: '86-and-later 350ci small-block Chevy with the one-piece rear-main seal Features: GM Performance Parts has brought yet another trick small-block Chevy part to life. PN 12489436 is a 3.8-inch-stroke crank to squeeze 383ci out of your late-model, one-piece rear-main seal 350 block. It's forged of 4340 steel, so it laughs at heavy shock loading, nitrous, or whatever else you can dish out. Use it with GM's PN 12497870 connecting rods (that's a full set of 8), and piston PN 12489437.Contact: GM Performance Parts, 800/577-6888 nearest dealer, www.gmgoodwrench.com
