I seen disc brake kit for b body a while ago. Anyone knows who sells these anymore. Im aware of willwood/SSBC/Baer kits but they're rather expensive and are bit of overkill just for street/strip car.

Check out Scarebird they have brackets you can buy and usually the rest is salvage yard stuff so your costs should be a little lower than the new kits, I am sure they have a list for you of the right parts to get. I think some of the kits use Ford Explorer rear disc parts to make the conversion but thats just a guess. You might also check out Mopar Action tech articles or Moparts. com and see what they have. Here's the address for Scarebird,

I used the older design of the scarebird kit which used front rotors off a 95 crown victoria which had to be drilled to fit on the axle studs. The new ones use a different rotor so they may not need to be drilled to fit mopar studs. The conversion cost about $300 for everything but only because I didn't want to use cheap rotors or non-rebuilt calipers. It won't work with drop center wheels (15" magnum, rallye) without a spacer. I was able to get by with pads with 80% life on them, but the new kits use a rotor with a shorter hat. It was a noticible improvement in stopping power and a worthwhile upgrade.

are you able to use your e-brake with this kit or not?

These guys make a rear disc brake kit that uses OEM emergency brake. I believe the Chrysler conversion kit is a fairly new one however, and hasn't been uploaded to their web site yet... Theres info about it... for instance they mention that the Chrysler kit uses the one piece Green Axle Bearing, but I don't see the kit listed. You'll just have to give them a call. I do know that the kit price is about $600...
