related to the other posts about viper calipers, has anyone tried to use brembo calipers from a jeep srt8 or challenger? Not sure how they attach or thier construction but just an idea for a swap to an older mopar.
edit, looks like Mr DR DIFF makes one for a 13" setup.
Jeep and challenger use same caliper?

Any caliper that uses a radial mount is fairly easy to adapt over to a Mopar disc brake knuckle as long as you are using a 13 inch or larger rotor. Calipers from Porsche, Ferrari, Lambo, Mercedes, etc. are all basically the same. The bolt patterns and the offsets change slightly but generally there is enough room to fit it all together.
The first incarnation of my brakes I used a Challenger SRT, 4 piston Brembo on...then when I was able to round up the pair of 8 piston AMG Brembos they bolted right into place on the same bracket. Was nice and handy.
With the amount of various makes of newer cars coming out with Brembo calipers now from the factory, it gives a bit more selection for donors.
Just make sure your caliper will suit the width and diameter of rotor you pick out of course.

The drum brake caliper is easy to modify to fit large calipers if you are willing to get the steel cut to make it fit. I use 4140 chomemoly steel that is .400 thick. It maybe heavier but I will never break the adapters. I could use aluminum brackets but I like the added rigidity that the steel offers and I don't have to worry about dissimilar metal corrosion or getting any plating. Tim

As well..a lot of the OE setups have their own bracket to mount the other way.. You can see it on one of mine (in the "paint booth"  )
