91 Rear Disc ---> LS1 rear disc

What has to be done to change over, i know the braking won't improve by much or at all, but i think they look astheticly better? Just looking for pointers. The fronts will be 13" C4 HD's

Yes, you won't have to do the axle flange mods since you already have a disc rear. Honestly, I don't think the swap is worth it performance wise...you won't see much since you already have discs. You'll have to come up with a way to connect the e-brake cables. That's the biggest issue you'll face.

So i can leave out the drilling part and just worry about the E-Brakes cables. Cool

Yes....get with me on your LT1 rear brake parts if you want to get rid of them, I need a few things and it will offset the cost of your LS1 parts.
