RE: '67 coronet convertible
I would Google the disc conversion. I recall some Mopar magazine doing this many years ago but involved changing over to a mid seventies frontdisc setup. Back then that was hi tech, now it's pretty obsolete, not that it wouldn't work, but parts are probably tougher to find.I'd check Mancini Racing, Brembo, or other hi tech brake people...maybe they know someone who can with newer pieces.
Adapting a PCM equiped motor to a newer vehicle isn't tough, but requires a rework of the electrical system. You can't run it with your 35 amp alternator. I'd say it's as easy as your credit card balance, and you'd definetly want to start with a complete parts vehicle for the wiring.
On a side note, if it were my ride, I wouldn't change much. A numbers matching car is a tough find, and any of these radicalmodsmay devalue the car. Perhaps some tasteful mods that could be easily removed, like the factory electronic ignition for starters, may prove to be more reliable and advantageous. Now...if I were starting with a basketcase or just a body shell, that might be different story.

Sure, I can pull 8,000 lbs 1100 miles...and then spent 1900 bucks on a new tranny. So go for it!
