Yes...use early Ford V-8 brakes...there are a few folds selling instructional books in Hemmings and I know
Sacramento Vintage sell parts as well as some guy in Paradise California (Hemmings) and some guy in Arizona...probably bunches more..
Its a straight forward conversion...although you will have to notch out the rear backing plates to make them fit properly..I took mine to a muffler shop and had them make a pocket...and welt a cover over the pocket so the emergency brakes would fit.
