I have been reading disc brake swap information for weeks now and had finally decided to do the swap from a 77 Granada to my 66 Mustang. I located a donor car and was about to go look at it, when my I received news that I could get the front disc brakes off a 71 Mustang donor car for FREE. My question is if I use the 71 for the spindles, rotors, brackets, distribution valve, tie rod ends, calipers, and dust shields, will they work as easily as the Granada swap? I was still planning on using the Maverick Master Cylinder for the project. What problems will I run into? I am not the most experienced guy in the work when it comes to this sort of thing so the easiest route for me would be the best!
Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

Yes, they work as easily as the granada. You may have to cut 3/8" off the ends of the inner and outer tie rods to allow for enough adjustment.
