First I wish that a 426 Hemi came in the C body. I pondered abut putting one of the new style Hemi's in the car either a 5.7 or 6.4 but decided to keep it as original as possible. Second the C bodies were the test beds for the B bodies, that is why there are parts that can interchange. Third this came out a vehicle that had "upgrades to meet the requirements of the NMMP commander. Fourth Still learning about this car. With requirements presented it would require a heavier duty breaking system. If memory serves me the ideal split is 60% front and 40% rear on stopping. Just remember it was ordered with a trailer hitch and it was used for trailer towing for rescues etc. This car I believe is original because it only has 67.000 original miles. Looking to go back to Grants and talk with person who sold this car, because he remembers the car very well and the person who he sold it to. by the way do you have a picture of Midland- Ross setup?Remember that the 426 engine was not offered on C-Bodies, they are different boosters. See section 5-100 of the '69 parts manual. B-Body booster is 1" smaller and has a different linkage setup. Correct booster is a C-Body only. Parts book does show a Midland-Ross booster with some disc applications, but this was not used on any police cruiser that I am aware of with 440 engine.
