Answer a few questions and you will get more info.
1. Do you want to stay with small bolt pattern or go larger 5 x 4.5.
2. Can you do the work yourself.
3. Have you already upgraded to a dual reservoir master cylinder.
4. Do you want power assist brakes.
5. I prefer to use factory parts, or you can use aftermarket, you choose.

yes I'm going with 4.5 bolt space ralleys.yes i can do all the work.just want manual brakes.and yes I 'm going to go with duel master..
I did the Scarebird conversion on my 65 several years ago. Back then I had about $500 in it, plus a little more to have the hubs redrilled for 4.5” bolt pattern. Now I think it might be more cost effective to buy a complete bolt on kit with later knuckles and large ball joint upper A arms.

go stock kh disc brakes parts are easy to get and you have the same bolt pattern as the rear end . here is some of the ones i've been purchasing
I have been wanting to do 5x41\2" disc on my 66 valiant. Thought maybe I could price it together an save some money. You can get it in a kit for around 500.00 and I have about 800.00 in mine.

used 73~76 uppers & spindles, reuse your LCA's. you can buy calipers and rotors new, reman or used and rebuild/turn.
repop spindles aren't that expensive either.
all the wear items are getting replaced, so it's kind of a wash money wise on that stuff.
sorry just thought it was the cheapest setup .
