It's an easy upgrade, but you have to swap out the steering rack to make the ball joints work, and swap out the axles (using the 74 axles in the 77 CV/hubs) and getting some custom brake lines to convert the SAE bulkhead connections to the metric brake calipers. If I go so far as to make this conversion, I go ahead and use the 900 solid or vented brakes/hubs for the weight reduction and improved serviceability. I usually source my brake lines from IPS in Boise, ID, who source them from someone else. I may begin having them made locally and I'll post a follow-up on this soon.
