Ford Grenada is the cheapest route to go.

who cares a girl wants to work on your car, lol

The Granada coversion is pretty cheap but the cost of new Granada parts are getting expensive and touger to find. In the long run it might be better to go with a stock type conversion from Master Power or Stainless Steel Brakes Co. I saw an ad on Craigslist for a stock '65 disc brake setup, came with spindles and everthing, I dont know if its still for sale but it was a pretty good price, just search under the cars and trucks for sale section. hope this helps!
