RE: one more brake line difference

That brake line route is a good indicator Travis. I've understood this was a safety consideration to get the line out of harms way in case of engine shrapnel flying through the pan with a high RPM engine explosion. This is a feature not present on the '60.

What I've found too that's unique is the brake line running from the master cylinder to the junction on the frame has a metal sheath covering due to the closer proximity to the header style exhaust manifold. I've not seen this sheathed line on any cars except HP/Police big blocks of '60 - '64.

If a person was to build an HP '60/'61 clone it could be done if you had all the unique parts at hand or the patience to scour the U.S.A. and Canada.
