Welcome. Sounds like you won't have to worry about brakes at all. What Transmission does it have?
Keep the valves adjusted right and drive it as much as you can. Maybe bring your dad for a ride, if you think it will be a good idea.
I can't wait to see the pics.

As for brakes……..
Front has 66 Dodge Dart Disc Rotors and 4 pot calipers off a Mustang. They are mounted to the original spindles and front wishbone suspension.
Rear are drum brakes on a 9 inch Ford rear axle with parallel leaf suspension.
Master cylinder is dual reservoir mounted in the stock location under the floor.

I’ll get some currently photos of the car and engine and start a new thread with all the details that I know about dad’s car. I have managed to locate and safely store a large amount of receipts and notes my dad saved to help me along the way. Other stuff I just seem to remember the stories when he would talk to people at local car shows.

Glad you’re here. Sorry about your Dad, my late father went down that same road.
This is the right spot for the Yblock info, and a lot of related information. Just out of curiosity (since it’s a hot rod) has it got 40 juice brakes?
Might also help to add your general location. Sometimes there’s someone close, or a part available when you need one.

Although you didn't ask for it, my advice to you is, "Don't fix what ain't broken." you'll enjoy the car much more when you can drive it.
