Hi Jason,Yes, the parts Gary P described will work. You will need additional parts as I described (Backing Plate, Spindles), Possibly a few more (Ball Joints, Tie-Rod Ends, Bearings, Brake Lines, etc).
You will want to consider change-over to a 2 Reservoir master Cylinder. This will require addition of a proprotioning valve, bending /installing brake lines, and some additional time to install them. This will aide in getting more of the braking power to the front-end.
You will want to consider putting new front-end parts when stiffening up the braking. If there are worn parts on the front-end, this added braking from front-end can cause failure. If you havent done so already, Tie-Rod Ends, Ball Joints, Idler Arm, or complete front-end kits are available from a couple of sources. I rebuilt my front-end with Poly-Graphite from PST about 6 years ago.

If it is a /6 car you can most likely count on needing them. I think the way to tell is if If you have the 9" standard duty front drum brakes, you will need spindles.You may need a proportioning valve as well, I'm not sure of your master cylindar setup.--Tom LUCAS, JASON AM2 (VFA 195) wrote:What else will I need to do the convertion if anything.
