Default brake conversion and rear end

ok maybe this is the right forum to ask. i have a 65 mustang coupe it has the straigh 6 and four lug wheels. i need to know a good front brake conversion and if an 8.8 out of a 2000 mustang gt will work. im going to put a v8 so i want to go ahead and do this right now instead of doing it later. or if you have a better solution im always into doing better the first time. thanks

By the time you get it modified to the point of driving, it'll cost you more than buying an 8".
