A big V8 , 1st gear .........no parking brake will hold. I have always tested that by putting the gearbox in 3rd, and it should kill the motor right away.
Another thing .......there is a difference between a "Parking" brake and a "hand" brake. These are all parties raking brakes. The only parking brakes that really work as a brake are the type with a drum style. The swept area of the shoes is what is important here. Swap the brakes for a style that has the drum brake in the hat..
