So, again I am a victim of countless hours of research on the internet, but again, I came out on top...

Here is a list of parts to convert your 7.5" 10-bolt drum brake rear end into a rear disc setup using almost all stock parts...

Rotors (2) - '95 Chevy Camaro Rear Brake Rotors - AZ - $28 - 2yr War.
Calipers (2) - G-body fronts, metric - AZ - $21 w/o core, $10 w/ core - Lifetime War.
Hardware (2) - G-body front, metric - AZ - $10
Pads - G-body front, metric - AZ - $22 - Lifetime War.
Caliper Brackets (2) - TBD - hopefully Speedway Motors
Proportioning Valve - Summit Racing - $45
Hoses - If you have the ends identified, any hydraulic line shop in the industial part of town can make you some for cheap on the spot - <$35
Park-Lok Hydraulic Parking Break - Speedway Motors - $30

All bolt on parts...
Grand Total...
<$300

Any questions.. glad to help... whew... glad that's over...
I'm beginning to love circle track racers...

rjleiker, ANY updates/info yet?



Nice BUMP on this thread, I missed it first time around. Yeah, too bad the site is not found....rjleiker lives in a near by town, so if he has done anything yet I might get to see first hand what the outcome is and see about some salvage yard prices.

I found a kit from speedwaymotors.com for under $300 but I think it will be better to buy just the caliper brackets part#91641010 for $10.99 From them and buy all the other parts from a local autoparts for the warranty but the salesman doesn't have/know what's the parts and other info on the swap now what I would like to know if anyone used this kit or if anyone knows what parts I will need to complete this swap

with the speed way bracket you use the same calipers from the front and get the rear disk off of a 92 camaro i was told. thats what we run on our dirt car. but you dont have a emergency brake.
