I have to disagree with Tom on the 4 lug issue but from a different stand point it is not the number of lugs that is the problem but the fact that the 4 lug spindles are to thin to support a 6cyl (I have seen snapped ones from 6 cyl cars)much less a V-8. I would suggest finding a set of spindles with brakes from a junkyard whether they are the drum or disc would be dependent upon your choice but if you get the discs use the later single piston caliper style you get better brakes than the origanal 4 piston calipers...sounds odd to say a single piston is better than a 4 piston but the 4 pistons were prone to sticking and had a slightly smaller rotor.
