Help Please Disc Brake conversion

To do a car to car disc brake conversions, what years and model cars can I take the setup from for my 1965 Oldsmobile Delta 88?

You can't, unfortunately. The only bolt-on swap would be from a 1967-70 Olds Eighty Eight or the equivalent Buick full size. Disc brakes on these cars were rare when they were new and are nearly unobtainable today. Even if you did find a set, no one makes replacement rotors. You might want to investigate aftermarket conversions.

And just in case that's still not clear, the only DONOR cars would be the 67-70 full size cars.
