Disc Swap

Can I use the disc brake setup off an 4th gen nova on my 68?I also noticed that all the steering linkages are on different sides of the crossmember!Can I swap the whole sub-frame?:chev::chev:

i wouldnt find a secound gen camaro ud be better off less mods needed

I know people have used the 4th generation subframes on the 3rd generation cars but I'm not sure how much modification it takes to make it work. The 4th generation does have a lot better steering/syspension geometry and larger disc brake calipers. Plus, I bet you can use the heavy Camaro/Transam sway bars and quick ratio steering boxes. Bumping this to the top-maybe someone that's done this will see it and offer more info. Bob

It's probably just as easy to use the correct set up.Your spindle can be machined to accept the caliper bracket and backing plate,that is available from most aftermarket places, rotors, calipers and flex lines are available at NAPA or most parts suppliers.I would also recommend a 70 or newer master cylinder and set up.

I took a set of 69 camaro spindles with stock disc brakes and it bolted up just fine and now my car will throw you through the windsheild if you want it to.

Direct bolt-on:

68-74 Nova/Omega/Apollo/Ventura
67-69 Camaro/Firebird
67-72 Chevelle/Cutlass/Skylark/Lemans/El Camino/Sprint
70-72 Monte Carlo
69-72 Grand Prix

Note: these cars come with both front and rear-steer steering arms. Simple unbolt and re-use original steering arms; as drum and disc steering arms are the same .... The Junkman

there is another good one i used either on chevelles.com or steves.
if this thread leaves a little to be desired, you might search through steves suspension forum.

i bought a set off a 71 monte carlo- supposed to work...we will see though.

Mine came off of a 68 Cutlass Vista Cruiser (A body). Changing the steering arms was the only mod I had to make.
