Default 89 GTA Rear End Swap - Will discs swap? HELP!

Greetings! I have a friend who has an '89 GTA that has a Borg Wagner 9 Bolt set up - it's toast! We've found a rear out of an '87 T/A that is a 10 bolt and has a little lower gear ratio, HOWEVER, is has drum brakes.

My question: If we install th 10 bolt rear, will the disc brake set-up from the '89 fit on the '87 rear? An accurate answer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

no, housing flange are way different. You may be able to drill and sawzall it to fit, or weld it.
