Change Upper and Lower control arm to big Ball joint pattern ones....

Might have a set in due course, depending on race car plans...

Budgie have a look on the tech page on bigblockdart.com it tells you what you need and the problems I think the spindle height of the B Body is a problem

Yep, you need the later "A" Body knuckles for many of the conversions. These fit "B" Body arms, or indeed the later '72 - 76 "A" body arms.

Well would you believe it, I looked into this very thing a few weeks ago ;)

Drum to Disc and Disc to Disc conversion kits to 41/2 PCD

Lots of kits around with prices starting around 1/2 a clap for basic kits going up the more bits you want to replace. ( arms, booster etc )

Scroll down this linky for an idea of what you get for your dosh from basic to the full monty.

Summit do 41/2" conversion kits as well a bit cheaper

More stuff here but won't let me do a direct link to page just index.
Scroll down to MOPAR ( YES it is there ) then choose Disc brakes and you get info for 41/2" A body kits

Basic kits from $400 at bottom of page

Kit not needed by me in the end.
