Is there difference for front drum spindles on V8 cars and 6 cylinder?

[AcesArneson]

I want to convert to drum spindles to hold a bigger brake conversion kit and found some spindles but I am not sure if there is a difference between the V8 drum spindles and the drum spindles from a 6 cylinder.
Anyone know if they are the same part number?

71-73 spindles are the same for 6 or V8. The only difference is the drum/disc variants.

I have discs now but I am switching to drums so I can add a large brake package. Is it still the same bearings?

Yes, bearings are the same drum and disc, Timken Set 12 for the outer, Set 13 for the inner.

Just curios, why switching to DRUMs. 99% of us switch FROM drums to discs. Maybe I'm just missing or don't get something.

Drum brakes have less drag; drag racers prefer drum brakes.

Several of the upgraded disc brake kits use the drum spindles.

Yeah but drag racers aren't too concerned about STOPPING!
