You need to use the smaller 10.89?? Rotors for 14 inch. And the corresponding caliper bracket for that size rotor.
Ssbc are an easy swap and don't require changing the spindle.

I usually use western chassis for the spindles and source the rest of the brake parts via rock auto. But it looks like they have a kit available now

I’ve used the scarebird kit for an a-100. It was only brackets and a list of parts to buy. Lincoln rear rotors, chevy citation calipers I think

I personally used 1973-76 A body setup. Power or manual, your choice. Used DISC BRAKE 14" wheels. Yes, the drum brake wheels ARE DIFFERENT in the backside area and will rub the caliper. There are Magnum 500 disc brakes wheels out there and ALL new 14" wheels clear disc brakes.

Kit shown above is for 15" wheels I have been searching for a kit that will allow me to keep my 14" wheels. I am having no luck with that at all.

I removed the front spindles, rotors, calipers, pads and proportioning valve from an 80 Aspen. I put them on my 60 Dart along with a new master cylinder for the Aspen. They have been on there for 20 years and clear the stock 14" wheels with no issues except my Bellows booster does not provide enough boost to lock the brakes. Front or back. They still stop the car better than the dual cylinder front drum junk that was on the car from the factory. If you have Power drum brakes now, You would need to upgrade your booster to a dual diaphragm booster. This one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/236250969723?
