brake conversion

I recently bought my first car, which happens to be a 1965 Ford Mustang coupe with a 6 cylinder engine, automatic transmission, manual steering (I think), and original drum brakes. I am restoring it to be my daily driver, nothing fancy like a show car. I'm only 18 and have had very little...

Hello all, I'm thinking of upgrading the brakes on my 86 5.0 GT. It still has the stock 4cyl settup that Ford used until it went to the 60mm caliper for 87-93. I have already purchased the correct spindles needed for the upgrade. I want to go with the 73mm SVO calipers from the 84-86 SVO cars...

I have a 67, i6 with the standard 4-lugs, I found a few disk brake conversions for this type of brakes, that way I maintain my rear differential and just upgrade. Now I've seen my rear brake upgrade to be more expensive than my front ones. Front brakes as good as 525 and rear goes for about 750...
