    Anyone have the parts list to change a 63 Nova 4 lug drum brake car to 5 lug disc brake on the front end? Thanks

    Do some research on the internet for this I've done this with first and second gen chevy II's quite a few times you'll need to modify the spindle where it bolts on and I believe 68-72 nova and possibly chevelle are donor cars

    you need the 64-7 spindle to modify then you can use 68-74 nova 67-71 chevelle or 68-9 camero but it is cheaper to just buy the kit and every thing is new

    I think CPP sells a kit
     
  8. CPP's stuff sucks! I spent big bucks on their disc brake kit only to find out that the spindles were made wrong by design and CPP wouldn't do shit about it. Do a search on their quality and customer service and you'll see.

    As far as going from 4 lug to 5 lug, you'll have to replace the steering arms. The 5 lug arms are different from the 4 lug arms.

    When it comes to disc brakes, that's going to depend on what diameter wheel you plan on using.
