10bolt rear drums to discs

I have '89 RS with 10-bolt rear end and drum brakes. I have done some searching and it seems that i need to do some modifications to rear end it self and ofcourse get discs,calipers, e-brake cable. What else? Propotion valve, guess i get adjustable one.
My only problem is: Can anyone please post pic of the mods my rear end requires, since i got no clue what kind of mods it needs. I know that i will be looking for PBR calipers and the disc was 12", right?


Thinking about getting some gears too, maybe 3.4something, but that will be another story. allready got posi.

The tech article above applies to 3rd gen disc brakes, not just LS1. The parts may be different, but the mods to the rear are the same.
