Well...congratulations!

To repeat what the others have said....

No.

It ain't an easy conversiton. THe rear end of the 140 is wider. The axles are different at both ends.

Fix what you got first, then realize that the stock setup of disc front, drum rear is just fine. Heck, many cars and trucks still use a similar setup.

If your 122 is early and has front drums, you can swap the whole front crossmember with one from a later car and get your disc fronts.... that is a worthwhile thing to do, but not necessary.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
