    If it helps, Im running 4 wheel disc brakes on my rod without power assist. I would imagine you would have to change your master cylinder and perportioning valve. But Im no expert, but Im sure there are others here who will have better input.......

    With plumbing changes I can't see why not. But why not use power? Got a vacuum problems? My rod also has non-power assist 4 wheel disc and it stops very well. I would prefer to go to larger discs rather than to power, but power could be a welcome addition too. But as T42 stated there are others here that have more experience in brake systems then me.
