Default part interchangabilty guide/source, etc.?

I have just purchased a 1941 DeSoto S-8C Custom and am wondering if there is
someplace or some sort of guide that would let me know what parts I can
change with newer ones. Meaning the breaks I would like to change to disc or
at least use better wheel cylinders than the original. I don't intend to
restore to original, I want to make it a street rod with my son.
Any guidance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Rudy

Hollander manuals. Not really useful for what this guy is looking for.
