Kits for swapping rear drums
Pretty straight forward enough - anything out there by Baer etc?
Would be for an '89 IROC 10-bolt LS with factory drums.
Or, what would fit - if anything - off of another f-body? I read the great article here about swapping on LS1 discs in place of the drums - guess I'm a little nervous about the holes you have to drill into the axle flange - doesn't seem like there is much material left around those holes as in the picture in that article. But, has anyone else gone and done that swap? If so, how is it and how many miles you got with that swap??
Thanks,
Kevin

I haven't done it yet but I have all the parts. I'd contact AndyZ28, as he has kits for the disc/drum swap also, and with more parts included than the Baer.
