I re-used the factory 9.5" drum brakes from the 10 bolt BOP. There are housing ends that accept the big ford bearing and have the same bolt pattern as the drum brake backing plates. The center hole in the BOP backing plates needs to be enlarged a bit to clear the big ford bearings. Not a big deal.

There are a lot of options, just do the research and consider what you're really going to use the car for.
