All Small Six 5 lug conversion question

[Montytm26]

Ok guys, on to the next project since finishing the motor build. Previously I did the Scarebird (I think that was the brand) disc brake conversion on the front. I do remember having to buy the Nissan Sentra rotors/hubs. This is still a 4 lug setup. I'm wanting to upgrade wheels and tires, and 4 lug doesn't really have many options. So my options are either drill and replace lugs to 5 lug, use adapters, or do full conversion to 5 lug. If doing the full conversion, with my car being a 1967, the spindles are the same for the I6 and V8 cars correct? Could I keep the Scarebird brackets/calipers and just update the hubs/rotors? I would hate to waste the money spent on the original conversion to replace it all. Any suggestions or options would be great.

I believe you would have to change the brake kit. Scarebird’s 5 lug kit was different vs the 4 lug and used a different caliper and conversion bracket.

That’s the great thing about 67 mustangs
The front spindles are the same for I6 and the v8. You can buy any disk kit and bolt it on for the front
On the rear, you have to drill the axel flanges for 5 lug. No options. Other than swap out whole rear end. I have them drilled, but am going to swap to a 71/2 in or 8 in rear end for disks. I think there are kits for disks for the stock rear end four lug, but I am not familiar with them. I have an extra set of converted axels and will have the whole rear end available down the road if interested
