Really?? It would sure seem that discs would be cheaper to produce. Fewer parts, fewer operations to assemble.
I agree that drum brakes are adequate for these classic 'Stangs, but I don't think they're superior in very many ways, other than that's whats on there in the first place and it's way easier to keep them than change. Like I said, a wider drum is real easy to upgrade to, maybe even without changing the backing plate. But if you need the plates, those doners are getting rarer in the junk yards. Crown Vics and Exploders are plentiful.

+1. But the initial conversion from your existing drums should be harder than learning about the drums in the first place.
