I would like to upgrade from manual to power brakes on a '75 Roadrunner. Is there a kit available or a good source for piecing it out?

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
 
I would suggest a disc brake conversion from Wilwood or SSBC. I imagine you want power drums.
 
If it were me, I would just go to AutoZone/O'Reilly/Adavance/etc. You don't have 4-wheel non-power drums on a '75, do you? Regardless, you can get the master cylinder & brake booster at a parts store. Brake lines are available from fine lines & at least one other company. Misc. parts I would look for in salvage yards (not sure what those are).
 
Drums or discs? I had manual drums on mt R/T before I had my engine stroked and upgraded to non-power disc brakes.
 
you will need the power brake firewall mounting plate, along with the "Z" linkage under the dash for the pedal
 
Your best bet is to find a late B with P/S in a junk yard. You will need a pump with mounting bracket and lines, the booster, booster mounting plate, Z bar linkage, gearbox, and steering shaft ( rag joint to gear box ). You might need the pedal and arm also. Just too much to try a piece together IMO. Find a donor and get it all.
 
Lots of Cordoba's out there to get parts from.
