    Welcome. Use the search function to get ideas on front disk brakes. ( Much easier to get front discs without power brakes.)

    :Welcome: from Atlantic Canada! Manual disc brakes are a pretty straight-forward swap, but power discs are a little more involved (brake pedal bracket and firewall modifications). Craig wrote a Tech Article about it.

    I swapped both front and rear to discs on MY car (see Project link in my signature).
