If you are using 73-76 A body spindles, and the correct caliper adapter, yes.

The universe of available knuckles that will work is larger than that but the basic idea is correct.

Scarebird is now selling a bushing for the inner wheel bearing so you can use later discs on early spindles. The later bearing has a larger ID than the earlier one.

Dr. Diff sells the spindle bushing so you can add the larger rotors on your spindles but you must use different caliper brackets and u will have to use 15" tires to clear the calipers....

I didn't want to stir up the lateB,F,J,M-body spindle debate. The 73-76 A-body spindles are the same number as the late E-body one, and the most common in the conversion kits, didn't know about the spcer bushing, but would the later caliper adapters work with the early B-body spindle?

Yes, my bushing and seal package allows a '73 and newer rotor to work with '70-'72 B/E body disc knuckles.

You must also run '73 and newer caliper brackets.

Mopar Action 11.75 disk swap

This is one of Mopar Action's all time best tech articles. Correct geometry, all chrysler parts, and the whole shooting match will run you under 4 bills.

When I pulled together the parts for my cuda, I used NAPA for rotors, hoses, bearings calipers (They let me exchange a couple B body cores for the E's ). My local Dodge dealer rounded up dust shields and I landed a set of semi metalic cop break pads for me (I think they are all gone now). I also went with the mopar aluminum master cylinder and MP/Willwood proportioning valve. My spindles came from a 73 feather duster and my brackets came from a StRegis (Junk yard items).

You will enjoy the article. Rick Ehernberg is the man.


I’m listening.

Doc....do the adapter bushings have to be pressed onto the spindles? It would seem like they would need to be so they wouldn't rotate

The inside edge of the bearing seats against a lip on the bushing. The bushings are a tight slip fit, just like the bearings.

I'd like to nab a set myself. I think the last pair I saw here was $75 which is too high for me. I didn't have the money at the time(still dont ).

The only 11.75" caliper brackets available are used.

that's a part that should be reproduced. I had a tough time finding them 10 years ago when I did the swap

Master Power advetised those for a while, but I haven't seen them lately.
