Converting drum brakes to disc

[my1st68charger]

Hey guys, i have a 68 charger with drum brakes in front.I want to convert them to disc brakes ,i have spindles from a 67 cuda with disc brakes they are 4 pistons 2 on each side, are they a good set up or should i invest in a converson kit? I do know i have to change the master.

You wouldn't want to use those, they won't fit, the rotors use the small 4" lug pattern and parts are scarce.

You can use an aftermarket kit or factory parts from a '73-'76 a body or the F, J, M, R body.

Just curious, Does anyone have a list of the models that make up the different lettered body models? I know "B" is Chargers and "A" is Dusters, Not sure of the others though.

pony cars after '70 are E-bodies... prior to that they're A bods..
all the full sizers from the plymouth fury to the chrysler imperials are C-bods... the dodge vans from '71 up are all B-Vans..
of cousre you allready know about the As and the Bs,.. but someone else like c-stripes will know about the volares and such.. i know there's Fs and Ms...

R-bodies are the st. Regis and newports of the same years.  http://www.allpar.com/squads/stregis.html

M-bodies are the Diplomats and LeBarons

Thankyou for your info.I think i,ll go with aftermarket converson.What are they like to install and get parts for?like pads and rotors

[my1st68charger]

It only takes one LONG fatal stop and your done.  GO with Disk brakes.  I have a complete set up for 300.00.

Master Power Brake sells a complete disc kit that uses all stock mopar parts - they can easily be obtained at your local parts house.

300$ for a set sounds really good where do you live? I live in Quebec Canada .For the other reply ,I,m not sure if i can get anything from (master brake supply )over here in Canada but i'll check it out and see.I called my local auto parts store here and they can get a set up for 1800.00$ i think thats crazy.
