Guys have an 8.75 under a 71 valiant I want to use in my 63 dart and the front disc brakes.
Has anyone re-drilled the 8.75 axle flanges for the BBP?
Up front can I swap on BBP hubs and caliper brackets or what?

Yes, you can have your rear drums and axles redrilled. Generally screw in studs are used as they don't need as large a hole in the axle.

Which disc brakes? Assuming you have small bolt pattern K-H disc brakes you're stuck using the original calipers, but I would check with Stainless Steel Brakes to see if their dual-bolt-pattern discs will work on the original spindles. Most people wanting big bolt pattern discs use the '73+ stuff.
