I can help you on the disc brakes and steering. I have done several of these conversions.
For the brakes I use Wilwood kits. Their parts fit like they should with no machine work.
For power steering on a solid axle front end, I use a power assist cylinder
from either a early 60's Nash or 60's Ford. They have a linear type control valve built in the cylinder so you don't have to modify anything in the original steering system. This eliminates any possibility of developing bump steer as most other systems are prone to on a solid axle. Makes for keeping the car a little more original also. Once you mount the cylinder, all you need is to mount a pump on the engine and a small tank (1 pint) somewhere convenient.
