Brake upgrade???
« on: January 01, 2006, 06:57:53 PM »

I was just wondering if i would need to do a brake upgrade if i put a 400 in my dart. im not going too big with the engine, maybe a mild cam, and i will probably get a new rear end like a d 44. would i need to get discs up front? or maybe bigger drums? any help will be apreciated. thanks

yuo...  split the lower ball joint and take from there up off and replace it with the 73-up disc stuff...  you will need the proportioning valve and master cyl. for the disc system...

The only way I know to overcome ignorance is to ask questions!  What's a DANA 44, and why would he be kidding ?  I read and see folks using DANA 60s, is the 44 a weak sister to the 60, or maybe it came in a half track?  Enlighten me, plz.  Side-by-side pictures, maybe?
