" From: "Jay" <jciampi@xxxxxxxx> " " What is the feasibility of replacing the front complete on my 66 American " with a more modern front end with disc brakes? The street-rodders use " Mustang 2 front ends most of the time as they are easy to find and " reasonable. What would you recommend that I use if it is to be done? Is it " economically feasible? a lot of work for little gain imho. if you want disks, look for a '79-'83 amc in a junkyard and rob the disks, spindles, caliper brackets, master cylinder, etc etc and put them on your car. you might want the wheels too, if you run radials; they're much happier with wider rims than bias-ply tires. a 6-cyl spirit amx or concord wagon would also have 10" rear drums. " Or should I just replace the original pinions with later types with grease " fittings? pinions? i've toyed with the idea of using '70 jav/amx inner fender panels to update a '64-9 american to balljoint suspension. the '70 models were still on the '68-9 chassis which shared suspension with the american, and as near as i can tell the inner panels should be a straight swap if you pop the spot welds. i don't know if these panels are the same as later javelins, or hornets for that matter. i'd keep the american's firewall brace and modify it to weld to the new shock/spring towers. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ Amc-list mailing list Amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.amc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/amc-list
