As you have discovered, its not necessary to swap clips to gain V8 mounts and disc brakes. You can look for 71-72 brake system but they aren't as readily available as the 73-87's. The later system is cheaper for replacement parts too.

Take a look here "Drum to Disc" conversions 67-70for a great guide on the subject.
