10 bolt flange question

So I pulled apart my 10 bolt drum brakes, all the way down to the flange and I am wondering if there are any options for converting this rear end to discs, or should I just hunt for something else, either from the junkyard or aftermarket.

You don't need fact brackets to convert it.

The 98-02 ls1 year brakes fit right on. Drill out the 2 small holes to match the backing plate, cut the top part off and drill the other two holes. Then bolt them on.

Thanks. Found the YouTube video above where someone does just that, so that's the plan, except I might just go with Wilwoods.
