'87 Iroc Camaro Disc brakes to '69 10 bolt

[69Rathead]

I found a guy that has a rear end from an '87 Iroc Z with a stabilizer and Disc brakes. He told me it is a straight bolt on to a '69 Camaro 10 bolt rear with Drums. I have a 10 bolt 8.5 Posi (non original) in my '69 Camaro (not sure of year or what from) it looks like it should bolt onto it but i thought I would ask some of you experts out there first. Let me know of any possible issues (mods etc. If any) I would need to get it to work. Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

What type of calipers are they? If they are the PBR (early 1LE style? doubt it I only know of 4, 87 1LE's made) or the cast iron type? If its the cast iron type they are prone to problems and should be avoided. but yes, they are a direct bolt on.

87 Iroc would have the cast iron calipers, which aren't too bad as long as the calipers are working. Make sure to use the parking brake, that is how they adjust. Verify the mechanism works freely, that is where most problems occur with them.

Im doing a swap right now Using my old axle (8.5) 1980 TA rotors 1980 front Malibu calipers and steeltechsolutions.com brackets.
I will not have an e brake With all "new" parts Im doing it for about $325. For the brackets look for Doug100 on ebay. Someone from this site designed them, I cant remember who though

I thought of doing the 3rd gen axle swap but Im not to fond of the 7.5 diff

Are those brakes really "bolt-on"? I always thought the '82-'92 F-bodies with 7.5" 10-bols used the 3-bolt axle ends:


Take a close look before buying, just a precaution.

[Randy67]

The 3-bolt pattern is for Drum brakes only, the discs still use the traditional 4-bolt pattern. Except for the Borg/warner 9-bolt which uses a larger 4-bolt pattern.

Ahh, I see - Thanks for clearing that up for me

Look at the size of the axle flange. i believe your rear axle flange (where the wheel mounts) is too large to slide the rotor over

if your refering to me then yes you are correct but only a slight trim is needed. You need to remove the forgeing line to get them to fit. Ive heard of people doing this with a grinder but I will be turning it off on a lathe
