My '85 County has had it done, but you need to go to 130 booster to maximise the potential. I think Clarkie did a tutorial on modifying a Discovery booster.
Anyway the poms have been doing it for years

Have a look here brakes sticky (http://www.aulro.com/afvb/good-oil/50218-brakes-thread-discs-drums-handbrakes-conversion-calipers.html)
This is the thread with all the good info on brakes.
If you have a look at the very first one it talks about how RR classic rear disks and hubs will fit straight on, in most cases. Which would be perfect for you if it going in a rangie. 110s generally should fit a bigger caliper because of the weight.

Cheers,
Dan.

Just an added bit of info, I have a 130 DC Sals in my RRC and left the 'fender calipers etc on, no bias issues and they perform well.

Its going in a Range rover, all RR's are 4 wheel disc, so no need to change the master;)

How's the head?:D

That's so last century! Three pad changes & still original discs over all three axles on 10 year old Benz @ 900,000 km. Hardest thing about a brake re-line these days? - taking the 20 wheel nuts & four tyres off per axle. :D
