Oddball car - swap to disc - ideas?

Backtobasics said

My Dart Lite has a build date of 11/75, and is non-power assist. It falls directly into this window. The ultimate goal is to get disc and big bolt pattern on the front, and then use a Scarebird kit on a cut down C-Body 8.75 for disc brakes on all 4 corners.

The c body shoes and drums that are on the 8 3/4 will out last the pads,rotors and calipers of a disc set up by a large margin. Just mentioning this as some may not realize this. They do weigh a bit more but it is in the rear so it is of no real consequence to performance on a street car where the car hasn't been extensively lightened as a drag car.
Most (not all)rear disc kits sold are light duty parts pirated from modern cheaply built cars and tend to wear or burn up at a quicker rate than the heavy duty drums you may already have.
My intention is not to get the fur flying over these points from the rear disc guys, just you could save a good bit of cash without any lack of performance if your axle still has the brakes on it it came with.
I mostly decided to type this out due to your username being back to basics, thought it may help.
