just a wondering what the best rear disc setup would be. Not something overkill but something thats worth the money, don't want slotted and drilled maybe sloted but not drilled pref. just normal. Anyone got any suggestions

 

The best bang for the buck is the Ford Explorer rear disc kit at $369, but you gotta have a 9" rear with large axle bearings.

 

ya im gunna be running my 8"

 

i got the ssbc 10.5 inch kit for the rear for just over 600$ from jegs

 

is that the wilwood 4 piston with parking brake setup?

 

If you are concerned about money, and you have some wrenching skills, the 1977-79 Lincoln Versailles have the 9" rear and the disk brake setup. Just go to a junk yard and rob it off one of them. Best I remember though, one of our members did that and said it was a pain to get it in, but it worked.

 

i have ssbcs all around, great brakes i highly recommend them.

 

ya i was lookin at the 1977-79 Lincoln Versailles' 9" but there amazingly hard to come by ive been looking for almost a month and a half[:@]

 

The problem with the Versailles rear end is that it's too wide for a '66. Also, according to DFWMotorsports.com it cannot be shortened. Also, the axles are 5 on 5" instead of 5 on 4.5"

 

The Versailles rear is 3/4" wider than the stock 65/66 rear. You can easily allow for that with 3/8" more backspacing on the rear rims. The axles ARE standard Ford 5 on 4.5". I ran a Versailles rear in my 65, with 8" wide rims. No problems.
