Default Nova Disc brake conversion - easiest bolt on kit

Hi All,

I'm a decent shade tree mechanic... removed and replaced motors, do my own maintenance, switched out a master cylinder before, etc. But I'm not an expert by any means. I'm looking for the least complicated, most complete 4 wheel disc kit for my '71 nova on the market today. Would love to get a larger than stock front disc if possible (but don't need it) and I have power drums now so want a power setup. Every kit I see seems to lack the hard brake lines from the proportioning valve to the frame. Is there a kit that uses the stock lines? Do they need to be replaced? other than that is it a pretty straightforward job? I'm using the stock a-arms but would need a kit with the proper spindles obviously. Do these kits move the wheel/tire out or in from stock drums? Any expertise would be appreciated! I'm looking to keep the entire budget under $1K if possible, start to finish, doing the work myself. Looking for new parts, not used or takeoff from another model. Thanks!!
