I simply prefer disc brakes over drums. Easier (in my opinion) to work on, power brakes will work better, etc.. I have no interest in preserving originality on this car at this point. I'm also going with 12V, which I know will cause some people's heads to explode.

The factory drum breaks can lock up the wheels- the braking distance will be set by the tires at almost locked. Disk brakes will improve fade resistance on repeated hard stops but not necessarily stopping distance. My point is what are you expecting disk conversion to do?
