Brand new to the forum, and hope someone out there can help. I am buildinding a midlife crisis car (as my wife calls it) and need some advice. This is a frame up resto on a 69 Dart. Plan to drop in a 318 to replace the tired old slant six, and want to beef up the suspension and add disc brakes. Does anyone know of a website that could tell me what compatible donor cars I can rob parts from? Any help is greatly appreciated
 
Welcome aboard!

I think pretty much all the '67-'76 a-body stuff is fairly compatible, but what specific parts are you looking to rob?

There's a forum for brakes here where you should be able to find threads that discuss the various disc brake swap options (Kelsey Hayes SBP, 73+ BBP, Scare Bird, etc.). There's also a forum that is focused on suspension. The search button is your friend!
 
You've come to the right place! Check the appropriate forums and use the search function. You can also use Google, search "for a bodies only disc brake conversion" and check back with us in a few days when you're done reading!

Good luck and welcome aboard!
 
Thank you very much for the responses, 64DartGT and Brian T. Will look around and see what I can find. Looks like I finally found the site I've been looking for.

Welcome aboard! You'll find plenty of information and help here to get your car where you want it.
 
Welcome aboard! 2 things, need pics and where are you going with the car? 360's are falling off the trees and the swap is virtually the same. All the best, Wayne

looks like mine but its a 4 door. i love 4 doors. putting cop car 15x7 steelies with the big and small tire package. other than small scoop to clear tall air cleaner if it doesnt fit it looks like a 75 family car.
 
Will post pics soon, but right now it is in the " frame off " stage. Had a heat and sound proof undercoating put on. It still looks pretty rough
