Default 2 questions I haven't seen answered about D35-D44a swap.

I'm doing the old D35-D44a swap as the 35 has had it and I have the 44a sitting here. I've researched but haven't seen two questions answered:
1) I'm going from drum brakes on the 35 to discs on the 44a. Will I have to change any brake lines or the master cylinder for the change in brake pressure due to the calipers?
2) Will any sensors or the speedo be affected?
Thanks for any input.

For question 2, your speedometer gets input from your transfercase. As for question 1, I'd bet you should have to change out the brake system. You could easily acquire all the hardware from a jy.

All you have to change for drum to disc is the proportioning valve.
