holy cow now i am confused lol!! doesnt take much.

i am trying to do this disk and suspension swap in the best manner possible. easy would be great but ultimately i want to do it right.

looks there are 3 options:
change entire cross member meaning id need to support the engine (not a problem, have hoist, etc)

use stock cross member with new drop spindles and parts from the 79 and deal with brake line issues?

or use stock crossmember and do everything individually?

holy moly. i think i would rather try and keep the engine supported and move the 79 crossmember to the 63 and keep everythin in tact. then obv deal with brake lines, prop valve, master cycl, and suspension.
