C4 brakes on my 87 IROC?

I have access to a set of disc brakes and calipers from a C4 vette. I've heard their is some difficulty to it, but how do I get these to fit on my 87 IROC ? What modifications would be necessary ?

Interesting thread... Do you know if it would make a difference that I have billet adapters so that I can fit my C5 wheels on ?

Because the rotor slips onto the hub, the wheels will stick out a bit father. Probably about 1/4".
