YeS.

Do the front and drive with rear drums on the stock MC/booster

Next weekend do rear disk, MC and booster and prop valve mods

Save parking brake for another day

You can do the booster, but you don't want to install a 4-wheel disk MC with rear drums. Pedal will be very hard.

The stock MC can operate the front cobra brakes. The surface area of the caliper pistons between the front 60mm calipers and the cobra calipers is pretty similar, therefor no MC change needed for just the fronts

Booster swap is a project in itself. 2-3 hours or so just for that

A cobra/sn cylinder is fine with drums. Been running that way for a decade. Even ran it withe the stock booster for a year or two, that sucked a bit but with the right booster it's awesome.
