Disc brake conversion 1970 Dart

[ADart]

Looking to order parts for a disc brake conversion and to rebuild the front end of the car.
1970 Dodge Dart w/ drum brakes.

From these two kits is this all I will need to get it done? Also do the OE tie rods, sway bar links and sway bar still work or do those need to be changed / removed?
Would try go to auto wrecker and find a 73+ A body but they are so rare to find in any yard. Also, I guarantee they will be rusted and cause me more hassle than it's worth imo.

you'll likely need to modify or make an upper control arm bump stop.

for 67~72 swaybar you'll need to mount the spindles on the opposite sides so that the caliper is in the back and doesn't foul on the bar.

i can't tell if the brake kit comes with a distribution block and proportioning valve. if not you should probably pick those up as well.

Perfect thank you!

Umm... you'll need a disc brake master cylinder, too. Most like the 15/16 unit.
And if you're going with manual brakes, may as well just get an adjustable brake pushrod too (usually your stock one will work, but sometimes not. What the heck- in for a penny, in for a pound).
Of course, you'll need new front wheels too.

I put the Wilwood kit on my '70 duster no need to change upper control arms everything bolted right in and you can use small or big bolt pattern wheels too very nice
