Drum & Disc conversions and Disc to drum

Can I convert a 9 bolt rear disc to a drum?
Can you convert a 10 bolt rear drum to disc set up?
Basically are these interchangeable? I know about the portioning valve.

I want to put in the 9 bolt in my car and don't want the disc setup. I like the drum brakes for the functional E-Brake quick turn around option.

Be cheaper to just buy a drum braked rear & swap them out. I got a drum brake 10-bolt for free last time.

Either swap a drum brake guy for your disc brake setup, or get the drum & sell your disc afterwards.
