142 brakes onto a 122? 120-130

Hey all, more questions on upgrades for my 122...

I've been thinking more about the 142 that's available local to me and was wondering if it would be possible to do something similar with it to the disk brake swap from a P1800. While I'm not inclined to part out the car for just the motor (its borderline restorable, with a fair amount of rot in the rockers), I wouldn't be bothered as much if I scavenged the motor plus the rear axle and front hubs.

There's also a rather rough looking '68 P1800 somewhat local. Would a '68 have rear disks? Its probably not injected (eventually I want to put MS on the 122), but it does have a 4 speed w/ OD that makes it tempting (could put the OD onto my '59 Triumph).

Thoughts? Any other possible upgrades from a 140 or P1800 I'm missing?

Thanks,

-Aric.
