found in tech articles..

For the front 87-93 v8 cars, use the rotors from a mid 80's Lincoln Continental, Lincoln Mark VII (85-91), or '84-'86 SVO. For the 79-86 and 87-93 4cyl cars, use the 83-92 4cyl Ranger front rotors. This will keep the cost down and allow you to keep the stock front brakes. You can buy the rotors for about $40-60 each. You an also purchase after market front rotors like the Power Slot brand in 5 lug. These cost about $99 each.

So my best bet is to buy rotors from a Lincoln Mark VII huh? The 4cyl spindles are different than the V8's so i couldnt use ranger rotors. Thanks for the help. Hopefully he can get the brakes

You will still need to swap axles and master cylinders if you go with rear discs.

alot of race cars dont have brake boosters...but this isnt going on a street car so stopping doesnt have to be on a dime.
