'49-54 Disc Brakes Conversion W/OUT Kit?

Have done lots of searching, as always. A kit is obviously easy but it seems over priced.

Does anyone have something like a parts list to do a conversion? I'm thinking of looking for a 70's Chevelle/Monte Carlo for the rotors, calipers (for at least the cores), valves, etc. But what is everything I need for power brakes? I thought better to ask than to miss something.

At the very least what rotors from what donor fit the stock spindles?

Speedway sells the kit pretty cheap.

This. Figured it out before I read your post.

For everyone else on the web searching this, here's the brackets you need:

The full kit is only 150 more but it's all Asian junk, no doubt. Source everything else from a 70 to 77 Camaro or GM equivalent (Chevelle, etc).

Since I'm doing this for myself, too, as notes for my build, here's a list of all Chevy equivalents per O'Reilly.
