No NO NO NO, These cars are totally different, Actually if you have drum brakes on a 71 you can buy a conversion kit, some only about 700 dollars to convert to disc. I have a 72 and the rotors alone now cost 350 dollars a pair!!! It would be cheaper for me to covert a drum brake car than to rebuild my factory disc brakes!! The conversions are much larger brakes too..

In 1973 the front suspensions changed on all Mopars. So no, it will not work, It would be costly and a waste of time to try.
You can use 71- 72 Charger k-Member.
There are many options you can do. Be patient and research all options for the one that best suits you.

You can actually swap over the 73-up spindles,rotors,caliper brackets,calipers onto the 71.Use the 71 control arms and ball joints.You also have to change the master cylinder and the proportioning valve.But it is a cheap conversion.
