Non-ABS to ABS, Conversion worth it Options

How hard would it be to convert a non abs to abs and if possible can anyone give me a list of things I would need other than cash.

Actually, locking your brakes means your transition from rolling friction to sliding friction, and sliding friction on your tires doesn't generate the same kind of heat as can be generated by the sliding friction between your rotor/drum and pads/shoes. It's the transition from kinetic to thermal energy (moving wheel to hot brake) that slows the car. Locking your brakes means you generate less heat, but much more importantly it means you lose all steering.

If jamming your brakes and using your tires to create friction was a more efficient means of stopping than using your brakes to create friciton, it wouldn't take Mario Andretti to beat an ABS car in a stopping contest.
