I just picked up a 1965 289 mustang and it has front drum brakes. Is there another car i can get parts off of to convert to front disc. Thanks Curtis
also soon as i wash it i will post some pics, a buddy of mine i go to church with bought it brand new in 65 and only rust on it is the bumbers. It has been sitting up for 5 years without being cranked, and she is very dusty

The most common disc brake parts swap is from a '70s Ford Granada/Mercury Monarch. A Google search will find several websites with the parts list. Basically, get the spindles, rotors and calipers from the Granada and bolt 'em in. Search this forum for info, too.
