LT1 Corvette Rear End Swap Into a 3rd Gen

I am looking to swap my 87 Iroc’s archaic solid rear axle with the multi link rear axle of an LT1 C-4. Has anyone done this? If so how much did it cost and how successful was it?

Its possible, people have done it, but I haven't seen any documentation on how they did it. https://www.thirdgen.org/messgboard/...ML/002184.html
