Check out the Granada swap on my webpage too. This is a bit of an outdated swap, as there are other choices to put disc brakes on a 66 that are better and less expensive.

We have a '65 coupe and used 1980 Granada brake set-up. You can use any of the 75 to 80 Granada front disc brake set-ups for the swap over. You will need the spindles, disc's, calipers, and dust shields. You'll need to replace the original Mustang outer tie-rods with ones from a Granada of the same year. Your going to also need a dual chamber master cylinder and either a proportioing valve or combo valve and of course a few new brake lines. The change out is fairly easy and shouldnt take more than a weekend to make. Good luck, its the best upgrade you'll ever make.
