Disc breaks
I'm am trying to convert my stock drum brakes to disc. I am looking for a kit that will work with the crate ford 302 V8 and a manual transmission. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to FTE!

You'll get some great info here at FTE, what parts will fit, different strategies on how to this depending on budget, etc.

Be sure to spell it "Brakes" when doing any web searches though. /jk

Yes, Walston, I also used ECI. Their kit was easy to install and works great. Tip: make sure the brackets are installed super straight.
