can this swap be done?

It has been suggest to me by a former member of this org that there are some very wise wrench heads here that can help me. I have a 76 Malibu, SB 400, 8 1/2 ten bolt rear end and a few other mods. It was my son's car in college and can't bring myself to sell it. I would like to convert the rear drums to disk and have been told by several bow tie fans that there just has to be a bolt on solution. Can anyone here give me a few clues on how to do this. Thank for your help!

Hey, 76. A site dedicated to Malibus might serve you better, as TGO's interest is 82-92 F-bodies. A quick search did turn up the following kit:

Good luck on your project.
