disc conversion

[74Satellite]

Just a quick question guys. I just picked up an E-body with drum brakes in the front and want to convert to disc brakes. For the sake of saving money, can I swap in the disc brake setup from a 1987 Chyrsler Fifth Avenue (M-body) or from a 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner? One whole side of the front suspension on the Challenger is missing and need to get it rolling to get it over to the restoration shop.

Thanks!

No offense, but that article has been superceeded.

They want you to peice together stuff, and don't fully understand the geometry issue.
It's really easier than what they want you to do.

The M body and late B body stuff is very similar, except for 2 vs 4 bolt m/c.

You can swap either system directly, and pretty much in it's entirety, except for the m/c and maybe the caliper hoses.
