    Welcome from Panama City, Florida.....Lots of parts sources here ask in the classified wanted section.
    I have a 1972 Maverick Grabber with the 351W I am starting on now, needing disc brakes myself but looking locally.

    Hello from sunny California and welcome.
    There are a number of different ways to put disc brakes on your car, it just depends on what your budget is and what you are going to use the car for, street/street strip or ?
    I did mine with; http://shop.aerospacecomponents.com/4pistonheavydutyfrontprostreetkit70-73mustang.aspx

    I put their drag brake kit on the front and rear..........only went with 10" discs because I've got them in the back also. The ones above are their 11.75" front kit and it is very easy to put on, just take you brakes off, mount the adapter plate and put them on. They even sell braided line with an adapter that goes to the stock Maverick hard line.................couldn't be easier.
