This swap may require new spindles. It WILL require rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, flexible brake lines, master cylinder, and maybe a brake booster. You will also need either the proper brake bias block, or a manual bias adjuster.
When I changed the brakes in my 69 F100, I used parts from a late 70s pickup because they are interchangable. I used the spindles, rotors and bias block off of a junkyard truck, got rebuilt calipers, and a new master cylinder. I did not install a power assist booster, as I prefer the feel of manual brakes.
Good luck!|||rightnow and GearHeadEngineer.com have very good answers as well. That site would be the way I%26#039;d go, and only $845 is a very good deal.

|||That%26#039;s a major re-engineering project. The below URL gives some pertinent information. Don%26#039;t expect a bolt-in swap.|||Check out Danial he is on the money If you follow that procedure you will be fine, hope this helps.|||Don%26#039;t bother. If you do something wrong the car hits something when you are trying to stop and the brakes fail.|||the best way to switch over is to find say a 1965 Lincoln or Mercury that has disc brakes. 1965 was the first year they were standard on all Lincolns and an option on Mercury%26#039;s. All you would have to do is move all the parts over spindle and all its not really all that complicated to do. If there are kits out there they would probably work but I would look for a parts car and switch.|||I designed and manufacture a bolt-on conversion kit, specifically for the 1961-1964 Lincolns. Takes about 2-3 hours to install and works great. Check out our web site:
