The disc conversion is by no means without it's own set of problems....getting everything plumbed in properly, but you would not encounter the problems with transmission clearance and pedal linkage issues and you would have brakes that were a whole lot more friendly on the modern highway.
How do these get resolved by changing to front disc brakes? I seen no difference in the pedal linkage, master cylinder location, and booster with or without disc.
If you want really good brakes the hydrobooster is the way to go. The only difficult part is mounting the pump on a 6 cylinder, but it can be done.
Check my pictures for some ideas on both the hydrobooster and pump mounting.
