Will drum rearend work?

I have an 88 IROC with a BW 9 bolt 2.77 ratio, with rear disc brakes. I am looking for a rearend with at least a 3.42 ratio. Does anyone know if I can use a drum rearend since they are so widely available and use my disc brakes on it?

No, backing plates are different for the 9 & 10 bolt brakes.
