brakes from drum to disc

I have a 83 camaro that had a v6 and drum rears. I dropped in a built 350, and changed rear ends to a 86 Iroc-z with discs. What problems wii i run into doing this?

You may have to change out the proportioning valve or the master cylinder, but I don't know exactly how the system will perform. Look into the temporary 1LE upgrade section, under the Guldstrand bracket discussion. All the prop valve and M/C part numbers are listed there with their applications. Hope this helps.
