71 Charger Master Power Brakes?

So, I've begun the process of bringing back to life the 71 Charger that's been in my family since it was brand new.  Just had a shop swap out the fuel system to get her running again.  Got some new wheels and tire.  Ordered a complete suspension kit from Hotchkis and now on the hunt for a disc brake conversion kit. 

I was pointed in the direction of Master Power.  So, before I order a kit, figured I'd ask here first if anyone has ordered and installed the kit on their 71 and how they like it?

Thanks in advance!

i used Dr. diff and couldn't be happier, i almost went with MP. did your car have power from factory. you might give them a call and talk to Cass.

Yes, OE Power brakes.  I'm not familiar with Dr. Diff.. Do they offer a full kit? I liked the pricing on the MP kit.

i also had OE power drum brakes (69 charger), i bought their stage 2 kit, but i needed a disk master cylinder as well, couldn't use the drum one. i kept my drum booster and will be adding a prop valve. the MP kit is 1200 bucks for power kit. Dr. diff is 600 but you need to add the master cylinder.

it is still cheaper. i would call them and talk to them and tell them what you want to do. but i know guys on here use the MP kit and love it. hopefully they will chime in.
