Already having a 96 Formula donor car for my 69 Camaro I am wanting info on what all I can swap over. I tried the fuel tank (not) engine and trans going in, and now brakes seeing how the rear end swap seems to difficult I would like to use all 4 if possible. Thanks

Rear end on that Formula isn't that stout anyway.

Rear brakes bolt up. Not so sure about fronts -- I've not looked for brackets for that.

Fronts use heavy, cast iron, single-piston calipers...not a hot setup at all. You're much better off going a different direction up front or sticking with OE discs if your car is so equipped. The LT1 rears work well with most C4/C5/C6 front kits if you're looking for a performance upgrade over the OE's.
