rear disk?

I was recently given an 86 firebird v6 2.8. When I got it home, i noticed, to my surprise, it has rear disks! I'm parting it out, and I want to throw the rear onto my Berlinetta. What am up against?

The drum brakes work better than the morane iron caliper disks, so be aware the improvements will be for appearance only ... why bother? Going for the PBR caliper rears is a more effective braking solution.
