Have you thought to just check to swap the calipers? Oh wait, the knuckles and ball joints are different 00-01 right?

I wonder if you can swap knuckles out........?

Duh, 44 to 60.... lolz forgot. nvm

wouldnt be doable anyway. 94-99 i believe the ball joints were in the knuckle, and bolted to the axle. 00-02 ball joints were in the axle, and bolted to the knuckle. therefore, its not swappable.....

Where ya at? I think a friend of mine still has his 440 sitting on an engine stand..... Dual four barrells sitting on a low-rise intake (so no holes in the hood to give you away), 10.5 compression, lumpy cam, etc..... about 600 horseys..... That would shred an NV3500 at the first dump of the clutch.

It was fun as hell in a 72 Challenger....... (with a four speed. I think he sold the trans a while ago though.)

Central Pa, sound like a hell of a motor. I actually pulled with this truck a few times before I did the one ton swap. Surprising the truck held up pretty well, minus the last pull lol
