Rear Disk Brake Conversion Kit

   You should be able to use the CJ kit, but would need the rotors drilled for the 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern. Any machine shop could do that easily. They would just drill the new pattern between the holes for the old. They may have a set of rotors made for a Ford that would work, they would need to be about the same diameter and offset as the ones used on the CJ though. Same manufacturer as the link in Mopar_guy's post, so they can probably supply what you need (I didn't look at his links, suggest you read them though since he's done the conversion). 

Note that the kit you listed uses a GM caliper with park brake. You have to actually USE the park brake on occasion to keep it adjusted, as the self adjusting mechanism relies on the brake being activated to work. Don't have to use it all the time, but I'd use it once a month or so depending on how often you drive the car. If a daily driver you might want to use it more often, show car maybe not so much.
