I've recently scored from a SVO, the front rotors and Brake Calipers.
Does anyone know what I will need for the conversion in my 84?
Which spindles? or is the SN 95 Swap a Better one?
Thanks for any input!

Isn't the SVO rotor a 5-lug? If you want to stay 4-lug to retain your wheels then you'll need to just get stock 87-93 GT rotors and spindles. The SVO 73mm calipers will bolt right up and work with those. If I remember correctly the SVO rotors are also stepped at the hat to make up for the wider K-member of the SVO. So, your stock spindles won't work for sure (also because your rotors are smaller diameter).
If you are going to go 5-lug then I would recommend the SN95 spindles. The brakes are better anyway. I would NOT recommend the SVO master cylinder. It is way too big. It is designed to be used with the SVO 4 wheel disc set up (which even has a different brake pedal for more leverage!). Use an SN95 master cylinder or 94/95 Cobra master cylinder. The SN95 components will certainly be a big upgrade from your 84 brakes though you will have to go to a 5-lug wheel. Those spindles will also leave you set up for the Cobra brakes if you want to upgrade further in the future.
