Disc conversion
 
Anyone have ways of doing this conversion that's not so costly. I see conversion kits that are close to a grand but I'm pretty sure there's ways of doing the convert. Without paying up the a** for it. Any advice is welcomed

The cheap way to do it used to be to use donor parts from a Ford Granada, Mercury Monarch, Lincoln Versailles. The Lincoln even had a disc brake rear. Granadas are tough to come by these days though. The front end parts are almost the same as the Mustang. I think you need the spindle/steering knuckle, outer tie rod and of course the rotors, calipers etc.

Yes I'm doing Conversion to my 68 ford mustang and I paid 150 for my front brakes I pulled them off of a 69 Cougar and I bought new caliper and rotors and I have about 300 into it now

What about your spindles? Are you using the one you already have on the stang and if so, are they v6 spindles or v8?
