Question Disc Brake options?

I am interested in upgrading the drum brakes on my 1963 T-Bird. The car was extensively modified by the second owner so I'm not completely concerned about originality. I'd like a Kelsey Hayes style four piston caliper style front system, think 1st and 2nd generation Mustang to keep it in the family and a single piston rear. I am going to run 15" PSE Cobra wheels so space is better but still limited. I would consider something more modern if the price were reasonable but Max performance is not my primary consideration. Good reliable (improved) stopping and safety are, followed by cost, and performance is third. Any ideas?

I believe the Granada brakes and spindles swap onto the 62. Not sure but I'll be checking it out soon myself.

Cheers
