My car is gets a lot of street miles and see's the track as often as possible. I used the Wilwood Pro-Street kit with vented rotors. I absolutely love the way they work and the ease of install. They bolted right to the drum spindle, too.
I've done a couple of 130 mph passes and it comes down from those with ease. Car is 3,600+ lbs. with me.

Thanks GY3, That is the brand and kit I was thinking as well, I am 3600# with me in the car as well.............. Just got to get the car here and make sure the current wheels fit around the calipers per there site, they are narrowed stock looking steel wheels to replicate a 69.5 RR 6 pack car.

what master cylinder bore, pedal ratio, and the diameter of the metric calipers ? TIA tex. Ok , master cylinder is the 1 supplied by SSBC with the front brake kit , I am pretty sure it is 1" I ran it with factory booster and now without booster . Has standard factory pedal ratio . The caliper is iron and I had to slightly clearance it to run my 10"wide rims , ok with 8's Caliper : https://www.circletracksupply.com/g...ar-disc-kits-on-pick-up-trucks-cars.htmlSimilar kit: https://www.performanceonline.com/M...-dana-60-Rear-Disc-Brake-Conversion-Kit/This looks like the kit I got : https://www.classicindustries.com/product/mp500551.htmlI did have some spacer plates cut ro replicate the thickness of the drum backing plate to keep offset correct and bearings/seals in correct position . The POL kit and MasterPower kits have this supplied if I understand correctly , but be aware of this . Andy is correct Cass (DRDiff) does have everything . He like a few others now use a mustang/ford rear caliper and a slightly smaller rotor . Cost of currency conversion plus freight stopped me buying these . Got my kit local unused for $400.00 . Seller showed me they were available , he bought them , on ebay Tex

I'll look into that, Doctor Diff built the Dana 60 for me that's in the car still, back in about '06 or 7.
