Default 65 v6 206 disc brake and rearend question

Hey all,
I have a 65 v6 206 that was originally my wife's when she turned 16. Our son is now 16, and we are fixing it up for him.

Like most 65's it has never really had any stopping power, so my wife is insisting on power disc brakes. We have found a shop here in Little Rock, that will do the front (basically a v8 conversion) for 1500.00. Not too bad a price in my estimation, as I really don't have the time to do it myself.

However, as the v6's came with 4 lug, now we'll have 5lug on the front and 4 lug on the back, which will make matching rims difficult at best. I have been scouring the 'net and found that a 78 grenada rear end will bolt up on the 65 with no problem, but haven't had any luck finding one! So, i'm in search of some other recommendations..

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can get a 8 inch from any Mustang salvage yard.
