Bob Bishop, or lateapex, sells a kit that will bolt onto an LT1 car (LG's requires an ls1 spindle).

Here's a direct link to where he is talking about-I searched and found this (I'm also interested in doing this to my car)

As Chuck said, LG's kit does not fit LT1 cars unless you swap to LS1 spindles.

E-mail Bob at lateapex@charter.net

And as Erik has already found, all the info on Bob's adapter brackets, GM part numbers, install instruction etc. are at www.nashvillespeed.com

Bob does not sell a complete package, just the brackets that mount the caliper, but the website has all the part number listings so you can order everything you need to complete the conversion.

Thumbs up

Bob's brackets are very high quality. I finally got mine installed. I had alot of 16" tires to wear out before I could make the switch.


I bought the brackets from Bob, then bought all the necessary parts used from a guy on corvetteforum.com for $125.
