Mild Oval brake setup

Hi all. I am new to this forum but am very impressed with all the knowledge and I'm hoping to learn a lot. I have some questions about the brakes I will put on my 1953 ragtop Oval. The engine will probably be a 1641 or 1835 Type 1, not as beefy as all the beast I saw here but my oval has her age speaking for her. I am pretty sure about the front, I'll go for a disk setup ( I still have a King and Link pin setup and do not want to change that ( I might go back to original some day ) For the back I read somewhere that type 3 drums would give me better stopping power than the original drums. What I am curious about is...
1) is this true?
2) if so, wich T3 drums do I need?
3) when obtained, how do i fit them, any specific instructions needed?

any help appreciated. Thnx
