Delco moraine upgrade

Hey guys, I purchased a 1989 GTA rear end with BW 3.27 posi rear with disc, but i think they are the iron delco moraine. so question is, can I/ should I upgrade the rear to a better braking system, like a newer z28/corvette? I don't need an expensive solution, moderation is fine as it is a daily driver. I don't race it or run it hard. So with that said, what suggestions do you guys have? I have a lot of interest in the rear from folks, and can make a profit on it, but good rear ends are hard to find in south Texas due to the demand. Is this rear good to go as a platform to start with, or sell and hold out for an entire rear with better braking system because delco moraine issues?

Also if I keep it how do install enrage on 92 28

Just an FYI: If the rear is an 89, the calipers should be PBR's, not Delco Moraines.

Yeah weird huh? Either he was wrong or I am wrong on the year, but I measured today and they are 10.7

I know guys dislike this rear end due to the brake system so... I may just remove them and try to upgrade since the pinion and gears look perfect. Oil was a little yellow, but only smelled like eggs and didn't have a burned smell or foamy oil. The car was only wrecked a month back
