Can someone point me in the direction of brake upgrades for my 1966 "E" 4.2 ?
Would you be kind enough to also "cc" me at mrc.engr@verizon.net
Thank you,

Mike,
You can try various methods, in the States you can buy Wilwoods a four pot caliper with the same brake area as the standard Dunlop brakes but less brake fade. You keep all your brake system and just bolt the Wilwoods stright on.
In the UK we have Coopercraft and Zeus same type of thing.
I have upgraded my '61 3.8 with Volvo Girling calipers about a quarter of the price of all the rest and a bit more fiddly but well worth the effort.
I have a full write up with details if you are interested.
