About ryan mahaffey Expertise I can answer questions about a wide spectrum of 60`s and 70`s muscle cars. I have the most experience with Duster 360`s, but I also have a vast knowledge of musclecar suspensions, engines, rears, some option packages, and general facts reguarding model years.
Experience I have been building and researching cars since i was nine, worked in several body shops, worked as an independant mechanic, and searched for parts regularly for my machinist, who specializes in MOPAR muscle.
Question 1. I am converting the small bolt disc brakes on my '72 duster to big bolt discs from a '74 dart. Will these front caliper discs fit, or will I have to go to a rear mount caliper? My car does not have a sway bar.
2. Will 15x8 wheels fit out back? I would like to use the wheels with MT Sportsman Pro tires (9.9" overall diameter when mounted on '8s) Backspacing =3.75", and I DON'T want the tires to stick out past the fender lip. I haven't mounted tires on 'em yet, so I'd like to know in case I have to ship them back to Summitt and downsize to 15 x 7's.
Answer thanks for the question, brian! if memory serves, you need the spindles and all for the swap. however, if you have to go that far, check out this page and also see the large rotor swap. this page will awnser all brake questions. http://www.68cuda.com/disk.html now for the tires, im not a wheel guy, so i fail you in that part however, this site also talks about tire selection. http://www.68cuda.com/wheels.html
