Rear end with disc brakes

Rear end with disc brakes
I have a 92 camaro rs with rear drum brakes.
Yesterday i saw a camaro at the salvage yard with vin #8, that had a rear end in it that had rear disc brakes.
Can i get that rear end & just install it in my car?
If so, what else would i need to get from the salvaged car besides the rear end, brake hoses, calipers & rotors?

Re: Rear end with disc brakes
I think you'll need the proportioning valve too when you swap in the disc brake rearend

Because of thread differences, the earlier combination valves won't fit your 92, so you'll need an adjustable (I'm assuming the salvage yard rear has 10.5" rotors and iron Delco-Moraine calipers, a set-up whose reputation isn't terrific here on TGO). The parking brake may be problematic as well, as your 92 won't have the tunnel-mounted adjustment piece.
If the salvage yard rear is 89-92 with 11.7" rotors and alum PBR's, the swap would be easy where the above issues are concerned--and generally much more desirable.
