    Disc Brakes For Box?

    I've got a 91 CV, 2.73 rear and drums. Is there a Disc brake rear end from maybe a 92 and up that will be more or less a direct bolt in without having to modify half the car? I've heard hooking up the emergency brake can be a problem, and maybe need a different master cylinder? Maybe a PI would have Disc's and a decent gear ratio too?

    I'm pretty sure someone has done this swap!, any advice?

    i've done it at least 6 times.......92-97 stuff bolts right on, gotta get a little creative with the parking brake cable, but it's really no big deal....do a search for more details

      i did it on my 90 CV. just rebend a few brake lines. im not sure if i got the parking brake hooked up or not. check your local pick and pull, you just might find a 3.55 or 3.73 trac loc rear dif. good luck!
      What happened here?

        Thanks for the info. guys, I do appreciate the help. I'm off to track down a 92-97 rear end worth having. So far I've found only 3L27's and 2:73's. One 97 PI car had a X5 for the axel code, have no idea what that is, maybe some sort of special 3:27? Looks like a 3L55 or 3L73 might take a while to find!!.... Are these in other cars besides CV's and GMQ's?
