I am planning one for my '68 Fury II with my disc conversion.
I plan on using a B-Body system from Hydratech. A friend of mine did one in a Charger and it looked great and worked very well. He said it would stop on a dime (fast!!)
The underhood layout of a B-Body is close to a C-body so it should be fine.
If you want to lower your personal muscle power while driving and lesson The Steering Feel to you --- go to any NAPA and get a Power Steering Rebuilt Kit that is A Imperial Division Spec instead of a Chrysler version.
The Imperial Division Vehicles use a higher pump pressure than all Chrysler Division Power Steering Pumps because of total vehicle weights.

Try going to protouring mopar.com or lateralg.net and search the forums there. Its a standard pro touring type upgrade and you can get alot of info from those sites.I do agree that a b body setup will probably bolt on with little to no modifications .thought about it during my build but kinda pricey and geared more toward a track car in which a c body will never be.I did do the "viper" caliper upgrade using '73 spindles on my fury and feel its plenty for my car and I do prefer manual steering and brakes on an old car.I like to feel it when I drive it.

Very interesting.. Did you make any threads of the conversion? If not, please feel free to add here. Thanks E

I did post pics and info that I found while doing the build.my main computer is down currenttly so nothing to repost now butim sure you could do a search.the only part that was custom was the mounting bracket for caliper.I have a cnc so I cut it from aluminum but one could actually be done from steel easily.do a google search of viper calipers on c body spindles and you will find a guy who did it onhis challenger which got me thinking of how simple it is.all other parts are off the shelf pieces making it simple.good first gen viper calipers can be found for under $300.I got &450 into mine after a rebuild and fresh powdercoat.the whole swap was @800$ which is cheaper than an ssbc kit and looks cooler too.
