Mike,
You can piece together a disc setup. The wheel cylinder boss at the top of the spindle can be machined (between 0.5" and 0.6"), then get a set of aftermarket caliper mounting brackets, then all of the other components can be purchased at your local NAPA or wherever you prefer to shop.

For my setup I went with:
-64 spindles machined
-caliper mounting brackets from Tamraz (ebay)
-67 Nova master cylinder (disc/drum of course)
-72 Chevelle rotors, bearing, calipers, etc..
-72 Nova flex hoses (a couple inches longer than Chevelle ones, better for suspension sag when lifting car)
-proportioning valve from a 72 Chevy pickup at the wreckers
-a roll of line bent and flared as required

Of course it is nice to get a kit and just bolt everything up, but I didn't mind messing around with mine over the winter while it was in storage.

Just something to think about.
