I’m a Jeep guy, have 3 wranglers in my household, but I have been getting the classic Mustang bug, would love a ‘66 289 HiPo, a Pony from the year of my birth. Not the purist type, love the classic cars that have been “modernized”, like this one, but maintain the classic look.
I bought a front disc brake kit from Kentucky Mustang 2 years ago. Now seeing your video i feel i can start the install. Thank you for anothet great video.
I'm in the middle of doing this same CSRP disc brake conversion and I noticed a small discrepancy between your video and the CSRP instructions that I wanted to mention to be helpful (but no disrespect). At the 13:20 mark in the video, I see you use the PURPLEISH BLUE/Medium strength thread locker on the caliper bolts. CSRP calls for RED/high strength to be used on the caliper bolt in the instructions I'm using (pg 9 SWAP.1.3/PBU/AT)
Yeah, I did the same when I changed a caliper bracket on my Jeep, and the bolt backed out. I buy new bolts that already come with threadlocker on them.
All the sealed stuff nowadays is garbage, love the old days with greasable fittings and bearings that need to be packed/greased. Someone like me who does maintenance at 1/2 the recommended interval gets a lot more longevity, or if I sunk that axle, all grease/lubricants are getting replaced.
2 questions; My 68 has 4 wheel drum, do i need to replace the spindles with this kit? Would you say this is a DIY job? And where would you get new brake pads for this kit? Are they proprietary pads? Great video.
Where should I first begin restoring my mustang? Do I take it all apart first? Or start on rust areas? I'm trying to restore my grandfather's 67 mustang coupe with my kids, but I'm not sure what order to do things in. I'm also trying to convert it from the original inline 6 to a 289 or 302.
Well that all depends on what all the car needs and what level of restoration you're wanting to go through. If there is a lot of body rot and a lot of sheet metal that needs to be replaced, you would be better off stripping everything down. Its just a rabbit hole though, once you go down there, its hard to come back up.

Excellent refresher.
Thank you!
Very good video! Im starting my Kelsey Hayes swap tomorrow. This video was a great once over... thanks ALF!
Oh cool, thank you!
Thanks for posting
You're very welcome
Its time to contact Csrp about that Dust sheild so nobody has to trim it
It's weird but they are all like that. We've installed several different kits and they all seem to be the same.

Oh heck ya! Get those drums off and disks on. You'll wonder why you didn't do it years ago.
Another great Video Alf, keep them coming.
Thank you sir!

Aww dang it! Thanks for pointing that out. We are all students trying to achieve perfection. Good thing I referenced the instructions hu?

I put CSRP disc brakes on my ‘65 a couple of years ago. I’m very satisfied with the brake system.
They are nice for sure!
Awesome information
Thank you!
Love the install and heads up. I found an amazing deal on the wilwood kit i installed, but this is a great kit!
Oh ya they are definitely fantastic brakes! Its always nice to find a good deal!
So shiny and pretty!
Just how we like it!

So odd that that bleeder is on the outside ??

Great video.
I would call CSRP. If you have V8 drum brake spindles, this kit would work.

I do not have a press. What’s the best way to replace a lug nut stud on the rear axle of a 68 V8 Mustang
Without the proper tools? Take the axle to your local machine shop.
