Hi,
I am mini tubing a 72' nova and installing a 9" rear. I am wondering what are some good choices of rear disc caliper/rotors and mounting brackets ? It is mainly a street car so E-brake provisions are a requirement, and I would like to go with factory parts to stay wihin a budget.

I would skip the Cadillac type metric calipers w/parking brake. I used a set and they just didn't seem to work as good or adjust out as good as I liked. I switched to Wilwood metric aluminum calipers and have had very good luck with those. I used stock car style weld on brackets, IMCA stamped steel hats and Wilwood rotors on my setup and it works very good. To get the parking brake setup, like Bob said that OEM Ford deal or just pay the bucks for a nice wilwood kit.

You can get the Wilwoods with an e brake option. I have a set of ebrakes for the wilwoods new in the box if your interested. Also there is a street rod type manual valve that you can plumb into your brake line. All you do is mash the brakes and then pull the valve button up and it keeps pressure on either the front or back brakes, depending on where you plumb it in.
