I have a 66 289 mustang and trying to find out the easiest options for converting drum to disc brakes with out buying a conversion kit. Anyone have any solutions or ideas?
I would recommend the CSRP kit. You will need everything in it to make it work. 525 for everything. Cant go wrong. Dennis will help you out for your application.
The cheapest and a very easy way to do it is to find an older ford granada, everything is the same, i did it to my 68 coupe i bought new pads and rotors, but i would grab the pedal and the master cylinder/ booster for power brakes.

It's the same for a '67-'70 Mustang, but not the same for a '65/'66 Mustang. Front end geometry and track width of '75-'80 Granada/Monarch is same as '67-'70 Mustang, but '65/'66 Mustang is 2" narrower.
CSRP, however, also has new Granada-based spindle castings specifically designed to put the Granada type discs on a '65/'66 Mustang.
Wrecking yard Granada discs can be put on a '65/'66, but the potential for excessive bumpsteer issues can occur --particularly if the front suspension has been modified with shorter springs and dropped A-arms.
