Man, that WOULD BE expensive, I wouldn't even begin to estimate. The local hot rod shop was impressed with my work and even more impressed with how much it (didn't!) cost, but he wouldn't do it that way because of liability issues.
My total cost was almost nothing because I parted out a donor truck, keeping the power disc brake parts I needed, and did the labor myself. I spent about $450 cash, and that was for new rotors, bearings, pads and brake lines (rubber and steel types), and reman calipers.

My cost was almost 600 bucks for all the parts...No labor. I did my swap in 12/09
New Rotors, New Calipers, New brake lines, New Bearings, New Dust caps, New Master Brake Cyl, Double Flairing tool etc...
Parts i scrounged up, Spindels, Brake booster, Porp valve, Brake line fittings,(for the hard lines) you need them because the auto parts store does not carry some of the sizes.
read this, Maybe you can do it your self?
