Caprice project - 6/7/2007 8:40:14 AM

Trying to get some help. Got an 87 caprice that I'm working on and has added a 97 lt1 engine and tranny and now trying upgrade rear end and rear brake set up. Does anyone have any info on what rear would fit that has disc brake set-up. Is there a brake conversion kit I can get if I wanted to stay with the same rear end.

I know the rear form impalas do. but Ive heard of people using s10 posi rears aswell. I think they do sell disc brake kits if you want to stay with your rear end. I know I prolly didnt help any but at least you know someone is out here listening. lol

i know this is an old thread but S10 rear ends would not be any stronger than a caprice rear end. Also, the differential in an S10 would not necessarily have the same ratio as your caprice. I'm sure i've seen conversion kits for disc brakes but i can't remember where.

Just try searching the web if ya haven't gotten it taken care of. good luck! I'd love to see how it turns out
