Hello all

Im working on a 71 Dart swinger...It orig came with a 225 but now has a 318. I changed the K-member to 74, Also plan to install the disc brake system of the 74. Not sure what color to paint it...While growing up my Dad had a 69 swinger 340 fourspeed. He tore a lot of big block ford, Chevy, and Mopar up with this car in the early 70s in the Elwood Indiana area...It was a green, not sure what code..Kind of a mid color of green with a hint of flake to it with a black V top and balck swinger stripe. So Im thinking of maybe painting it this color!
I have a few questions
1. To use the front system brake,rotor,spin,ETC. off the 74 dart in my 71 Dart...Will I need to change upper control arms and ball joint?
2. Also will I need to use the master cylinder and Portioning valve from the 74 model?

thnaks for any tips you can bring my way

You will need to change the upper control arm/balljoints. The 73 and up used the larger ball joint.
As for the master cylinder, you probably have drum brakes all the way around right now. The drum brakes used a risidual pressure valve in the master. Disks brake master doesn't have one on the front(disk side) of the master.
Good time to upgrade it anyway.
If you have the proportioning valve from the disk car, I would swap it.
It might go, but STOP it must.
