Where can i find a front disc conversion kit?
Where can i find a cheap front disc conversion kit for a 1970 chevelle dat has drum brakes in front..and is it hard to convert it?
thanks
Check out this very thorough article from Car Craft magazine which deals with this specifically. The cheapest way would be to find an appropriate donor or junkyard car that was equipped with disc brakes from the factory. Any 64-72 GM A-body, most of the parts are swappable (see article for slight differences in ball joints and tie rod ends). Easiest and cheapest if you get the control arms and everything in between and replace worn parts as needed, as well as the power booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valve. Main thing is to make sure the spindles are in good shape. The article also includes links to many aftermarket conversion suppliers.

(sounds like they must sell kits too)
And here’s a place that has a few left for $479.
