Front disc brake recommendations

Have a 1963 Dodge 330 and want to replace front drums with disc brakes. Have dual master. Rear drums. Wanted to do Wilwood but my stock steel wheels have a 2.75 inch center hub hole while Wilwood needs at least 3.10 inches. So, what other tried and true front disc brakes do members recommend that by far are the best second choice, and preferably made in America? Please advise so I make the correct selection on this all important decision. Thanks.

Thanks. My owners manual is for a Polara and 330. Seems to me these are one in the same B body cars with different names. SSBC has some nice options if they would only know what they fit. Can't believe I'm the first one in the world to ask if the Polara kit will fit the 330. Maybe so. Speedway does look like a fit or they just know what they are doing more so than SSBC. Thanks

Was hoping to use my existing spindles, but that doesn't seem possible. Thanks again.
