I'd like to put bigger front drums on my '65 like Chevy did with the Z16. Has anyone come accross a conversion, parts list, anything that might lead me in that direction?

No! I don't want discs. I don't want a power booster. I just want a larger diameter drum set-up. Love to put the one's from my Riv on there.

I'm pretty sure the Z16 brakes were a straight swap from a 65 full size Chevy. If you found a 65 Impala at the wrecking yard, I think the backing plates, shoes, drums, cylinders, & hardware would be a straight swap onto your Chevelle spindles.
