Probably would be easyer to have the hubs on your new axle redrilled to match your 4 bolt wheels.

Depends on allot of things, like the spindle.
Do you own a Speedway catalog?
or go to there website.

Just putting the rotors on is only half the battle...
Would anybody make a kit to mount calipers on early spindles to make those tiny disk brakes work?

thanks for the input...hadn't planned on changing it but bought a frontend for a price i couldn't pass up...it has drum brakes...could the lug pattern on those be changed?

some of makers of the the kits out there for a disc conversion say they can drill the rotors with any bolt pattern. If you have 13 or 14 inch wheels you may have a clearence problem. Give them a call.
