[400 dart kid]

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

i would definatley advise it. i would go with the 73-up style disc...

will that bolt up, or do i have to get a new master cylinder?

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...

Dana 44 rearend? are you kidding?

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?
