Default CAR CRAFT REAR DISC CONVERSION

Hi Guys, just saw an article in cc about using 88-97 calipers from camaro and fb on early cars. like my 74 ta. the article said the calipers and mounting brackets would bolt on. has anyone done this? looks like a cheap way to gain rear discs. thanks, BLUE TA

Car Craft does not flesh out the full details on these things unless it is another SBC rebuild...

If you have the C-clip rear I would go with the 98-2002 Blazer setup. The earlier F setup has a center pull E-brake and small piston bore which does not translate well to our cars.
