So I have a 1970 Boss that i want to restore. Im starting with the break system should i go with a new disc break system or the original.

First of all, it is Brake not Break! what are your goals for the car? that is a very general question you ask.

Are you sure its a real boss the reason i ask is they used a different brake then a normal mustang.

Cool...a Boss 429...

hhah sorry about that.
I just need a brake kit that will do its thing.

so should i stay with the drum system or convert it to disc?

squishi1993

Im not so sure of that, the reason why is because i could not find any vin numbers actually stamped on the frame.

but from the characteristics of the boss and what i have, i speculate is a boss.

If its got drums its not a boss they all came with disc brakes.But yeah i would spend the money and change it over to disc.Take a look at http://www.chockostangclassicmustang.com/home.html hes a member on here and great customer service.

The BOSS had an excellent disc brake system from the factory, far better than anything you'd need for street use.

Frankly, I'd wonder why anyone would modify a BOSS. Stone-stock they were practically race-ready.

Unless you are actually racing the car, you'd be better off protecting your investment by keeping it stock. Any G, Z, or 71 R code Mustang (or for that matter, the nearly unknown 72 R code) is worth so much more than any other comparable same-year Mustang that you's be much better off racing a base model with upgrades.

I doubt it's a boss, neither 302 or 429. It may have 302 cid engine, but that does not make it a Boss302...
