Ok finally got my mounts welded on and am onto the brakes. What disk brakes can I use and keep the ford 5x5.5 bolt pattern?

Also will the gbody brake line block fit on the 9 in vent bolt?

Dont know about the vent bolt. I just welded a tab to my housing and bolted the block there. As for breaks early 80 Lincoln continental I believe

Sure its 5X5.5? Must be a truck rear I take it? I had 5X5 out of a 79 lincoln and used Astrovan fronts. They have the GM easy to bolt on calipers with just 2 bolts. Alot of ofthers have wierd sliders and stuff cast in and are a PITA to work with. All the kelsey-hayes ford disks from that era are hard to work with.
