How far should i go with swapping stuff out in the front end?

I would convert to stock 73-76 bbp disc setup which can be run with 14” bbp steelies. You will need upper arms, spindles, and the brake parts. At the same time I would do strut rod, lca, and uca bushings as well as ball joints.

Discs will do wonders for your car. There is simply no comparison.
Wasn't even gonna do power brakes on my garbage but it might be smart to make it be able to stop
