Caliper switchout? 700 1985

Hello,

I've got an '85 740 Ti, and the brakes need servicing. (Lumpy braking on account of warped discs.) I was thinking about just having the discs ground down, or, if I needed to, getting new discs entirely, but according to ipd, those're budget brakes that screw up a lot--including causing warped rotors.

ipd also said that better brakes were in every single 240. I've got a junker, and my question is this: can I switch the calipers between the 240 and the 740? Would I have to change rotors too? Is the switch even possible?

Thanks,

Volfro
