As the title says not really a newbie. Tried to log in today but not recognized so I started over. Some of you may recall me with my '50 Dodge Coronet. I have been off for a while, but now back. Anyway, Happy to be back in the thick of things.
I can tell you what I did. Running a 2001 Explorer rear with disc brakes. Scarebird brackets up front. The stock wheels will fit the front but not the back. Won't clear the rear Ford calipers. I am using wheels from Jeep's crappy little mid size pickup. I did have to take a small chunk out of the stock Ford calipers plus a 1/4" thick spacer. seems to work fine. As for the master, I was using a Ford truck master with wilwood residual valves. worked fine until I started trying to route the dual exhaust from my 318/904 conversion. Pretty tight. So I scrapped that and put in an aftermarket firewall mounted power set up with a Corvette style master. Should have done that from the start.
