Help!!!!!

I have a 1966 ford galaxie, v-8, 390 motor under the hood. The dilema that I have run into is a decision to keep the original as possible. With the drum braking system I've been told that to make the car a safer driving machine, change over to power braking, disc brakes and rotors etc.... The problem is the conversion kits price raging $ from 800-1200 dollars with everything included meaning rotors, calipers, pads, hoses, bearings. and master cylinder + booster. Please tell me there is a cheaper way to go and achieve the same goal.????????

Just don't do what people tell you. If you want to keep the car as original as possible, why are you trying to make someone else happy?

i agree with you, don't listen to what some others say, there is nothing wrong with keeping the car as origional as possible, anyways a well maintained drum brake system will work just as well, the only difference would be a couple of feet when you break real hard and you have to pump the break with a non powered brake system, if you want to make the car safer for you to drive then by all means upgrade the braking system and the stearing system, check around you might be able to adapt the brakes from a newer car to your car, it's all about your safty

Does the Galaxy use the same front end as the Mustang/Falcon? If so, you can get the front spindles from a 75-80 Ford Granada and swap them in.
