d35 brakes on a d44

With the exception of the pads, an old d35 non-C-clip has all the same hardware. I used some bits and pieces when I put my 44 in. But I put in new wheel cylinders while you are in there, they are cheap and old ones may have issues.

Have a look into swapping on Crown Vic disks. There are a few writeups around here and its fairly straightforward.

The bolt pattern on the D35 backing plate is different than the D44 axle and would have to be re-drilled to fit. If you still have the D44 backing plates, more recent (c-clip) D35 brake hardware will be too small for it. This is really all going to depend on what flavor of D35 you have. Could you make it work? Sure.
If you have the old style D35 I'd consider re-using your parts. If not, I'd consider it a good excuse to just go ahead and upgrade to discs. Just the D44 drums alone will cost you about $100 if you pick them up at the parts store.
