Growing up with 6 cylinders and 3 on tree cars with all manual drum brakes, we never gave it a second thought. My '67 SS 350 Camaro had the manual drums and I drove it on and off for a few years before I started a day 2 resto. It now has '69 Camaro single piston disc brakes on the front and doesn't seem to stop any different from the drums. As Napa68 mentioned, keep them adjusted equally and they will be plenty good.
The 3.73 axle ratio should have brought an M21 into the original build. Maybe it was still an option with that ratio...
Sounds like a nice car, got any pics ?
