4lug to 5lug conversion issue

Hopeful to upgrade for little cash, I have searched for a junk yard solution for the swap. I have read mjbobbitt's page and found that the bearings are not close enough for my taste :so. I have not found anyone who has addressed this issue. The use of the mustang bearing and the Ranger race does not allow the bearing to seat correctly in the race (it rides high). Does anyone know of a correct bearing and race combo that will work. I understand from reading that many kits are available, but I have blown alot of money already and am getting short fast. The Lincoln swap would be considered, but they have become very hard to find. Any and all help is welcome, new ground is not always easy to cover.

I had though I had seen a post on this before, but was unable to find it.

This may be a little off point, but i did not want to start another thread. If I was to convert from a 4 lug to 5 would I be able to keep my rear drum brake (just to save some $$) or would I have to get the rear disc conversion as well?

they make a kit that is 5 lug rear drums for this exact reason to save some cash
