TSO, The standard car had a 3.73 rear ratio and with OD it was 4.10. With Fordomatic it was either 3.31 or 3.54. Don

When converting to disc brakes, be sure to include a correct proportioning valve. This regulates pressure between the front and rear brakes. Conversion kits contain these, or you can get them from Dave Wilton, who advertises in the V8 TIMES.

With your car I would say that discs on all four corners is "overkill". With the drum rear and disc front you car will stop just as good as any new car on the road.
