The quickest way is probably to buy a kit from SSBC http://www.ssbrakes.com/products/detail/677/?make=Ford&model=Mustang&year=1984

However, this isn't necessarily the cheapest way to go.

There are other ways to do it. You can buy a Turbo Coupe rear end. I think the swap is pretty straight forward but you may have to play with wheel offsets.

Check on this site for a used disk brake rear end. I think there is one in the For Sale section for like $400.
