Default E- Body Disk Brake Conversion?

Looking at the WILLWOOD kit and wondering if anyone has any input on installation and performance. Thought about swaping the drums out for a all new stock setup but after all is said and done for nos parts, it looks to me like the willwood is the way to go. Allso has anyone used the medium duty kit in a manual applacation with good results, [not enouph vacume to go power.]

Yeah will, I just purchased Magnumforce's entire front suspension kit with 13" Wilwood's. Your stock brake lines are not compatible with the fittings. I have not seen a power disc brake setup, only manual. Also, since the calipers are pretty big, a minimum of a 17" wheel needs to be installed. As far as stopping power its pretty friggin awsome. And installation is a snap. Have a good one.

If this is for a race application, go with the Willwood brakes. If it is for a street driven car, go with the SSBC or MPBRAKES conversion.
