Ministock racers use escort rotors and gm metric calipers. They are not concerned with parking brakes so its a pretty simple job.

Well this says it'll work, and it'll hook up parking brake.

http://www.stainlesssteelbrakes.com/products/detail/2383/?make=Ford&model=Mustang+II&year=

I really can't go farthur than that, never used it... hell I haven't seen my car in 3 years, I just happened to run across it last week.
There is a link so see the dimensions of the axle flange on that page.
And then you'll need a proportioning valve and maybe a new master cylinder.

But once you get everything worked out, you should do a little write up for the rest of us...

I used the TSM's on my Cobra. Seville Calipers, but when I bought it nothing else was available. Calipers bolt up nicely to the brackets. I added one inch to the emergency brake bracket and the II cables fit perfectly. The bleeder screws don't end up verticle, so I've either gravity bled them or used a pressurized bleeding system from the master cylinder, doing this requires them to be laying on the leaf springs with the bleeder screw upright. No brake pedal bleeding.

Currie offers an 8 inch kit using the later model red Cobra calipers.
