How much for a drum to disc brake conversion?

I have a 65 Mustang and want to know approximatly how much it would cost for me to change my drum brakes to disc brakes...i was planning on doing the work myself, but would it be terribly hard for me to do that myself?



also, my engine is a straight 6, if that has anything to do with anything...also i believe it's a 200 cubic engine, incase you need to know that to answer...thank you.How much for a drum to disc brake conversion?

The 6 cylinder Mustangs did use different brake drums and four bolt wheels so that could make a difference. http://www.scarebird.com is a company that makes disc brake conversion systems for a variety of cars including '65 Mustangs. I visited their site and it looks like a Mustang system costs $125. They estimate the total cost to be about $350 if the off-the-shelf brake parts needed (brake calipers, rotors, etc.) are purchased from discount internet supplier http://www.RockAuto.com
