68 cutlass.pwr drum to pwr disc????
okay i know i can just drop 900 bucks and get a kit but my question is...with the spindles i have and mastercylinder and booster can i convert to disc brakes and if so what cars would give up the donor parts and what years...i know it would be brackets,calipers and rotors and lines and would i need a diferent prop. valve? i need to replace the passenger side spindle(my fault...long story) i hope this is possible cause the budget is getting tighter and christmas is coming up and im hoping to have the car done by christmas

make sure you get the prop valve from the donner car. don't now if you have swopped them out before but leave the sway bar atatched and it will give you enough rome to get the spindle out with out spring compresers.

And, correct me i I'm wrong here guys, but you'll have to get different rims. Pre 70 rims won't clear the disc brake calipers.

Disc Brakes
Not sure 1974 is a bolt on... I've done a couple from 1970-72 GM A-Bodies but thought the 1973 and newer used different parts. Before you get too deep into this you might check with some other guys. John
