im swapping a posi rearend from a 97 ws6 t/a into my 3rd gen fbody and it did not come with rear disk brakes...will my stock drums bolt up to the 4th gen rear or do i have to find a rear disk setup to make it work?

If the rear is a disc rear, please don't waste your time on swapping drums onto a disc rear, that's going backwards in performance. Just get yourself a set of rear LT1 brakes and go. You can find them on Ebay or from other vendors out there. If the rear is a drum rear, it's very easy to do a conversion on the drum rear and upgrade to much better brakes. I just happened to buy two complete LT1 disc setups this week so if you'd like one, send me a PM and we'll get you hooked up. I also have all new stuff if you'd like to go that way, I offer everything you'd need:

I really think even trying the drum install would be a bit of work. I don't think you would have a way to mount the wheel cyl. unless you have a welder and alot of time on your hands.
