I need to convert the old drum brakes on 1969 firebird to disk brakes. Front and rear.

Is this the best way or is there another? http://www.autoanything.com/brakes/61A3148A0A0A1787173.aspx
And the sprint motor is going in with it eventually. maybe something around 350 horse if i decide. are these brakes strong enough?

There is an outfit called Scarebird Classic Brakes [url]www.scarebird.com[/url] that have disc brake conversions for many classics. Don't know if it's what you are looking for but might be something to check into.

1969-74 all GM cars used the improved design single piston caliper.

All brake conversions use the single piston caliper and will fit all the 1964-72 GM A-Body cars.

This includes: 1964-72 GTO, LeMans, Tempest, Chevelle, El Camino, Monte Carlo, Skylark, Gran Sport, Cutlass, 442 and F-85. These kits will also fit all 1967-69 F-Body and 1968-74 X-Body cars. This includes Camaro, Firebird, Trans Am, Nova, Ventura, Apollo and Omega.
