77 charger front brakes and sterring

[pushrod]

I have a 77 Charger I bought cheap and was wondering if the front brakes, A arms and sterring would interchange with my 64 Belvedere big block K member? Also are the spring perches on the axle housing the same? I know I would have to add the dual master cylinder and proportioning valve.This would give me a disc set up for my max wedge clone with minimal expense if it works.

I assume you are referring to the big 11.75" brakes? I recently got off the phone with one of the guys at Firm Feel and they said that using the tall spindles is possible with their tubular upper control arms. What they do is flatten out the angle of the upper BJ so it doesn't bind when you max out the travel. There is also more built in positive caster to allow adjustment up to 4 deg.

From what I am aware of, you will only be able to use the spindles and brakes. Keep in mind that the spindle is taller. Not by much but enough to be aware of some handling problems in aggressive situations. The 77 has an isolated K-member. The upper control arms are even bolted to it.
The steering should bolt on, but I am not sure about the idler arm.

Thanks for the info guys.I thought they would work but was unable to remember the fine points. Great article Scotts74bird. Would it be feasible to just change the k-member with all of the sterring intact?

That K won't bolt in to your car.

Thanks Revhendo, I'll take your advice. Will the sterring linkage bolt in?
