3 ch LT1 into 4 ch LS1 Q's

3 ch LT1 into 4 ch LS1 Q's I probably should have researched this BEFORE I bought the axle, but I bought an axle from a member here, and it is out of a '96 TA, so I'm sure it's 3 ch.
The previous owner is going to keep his backing plates and brakes to go on his new rear of course. I'm getting everything else.
My car has a 4 channel rear with LS1 brakes.
What do I need to do to make this work?
Is it as simple as I think, and I just need to bolt my LS1 backing plates on and throw the axles in?
Any help would be appreciated.

I did the same exact swap on my car.
Parts that you will need to swap over:
4 channel backing plates
4 channel axles
Extra labor to make the 4 channel work:
You will have to clearance the 3 channel rear's axle flange for wheel sensor clearance.
The stock 4 channel axle flange is designed to clear the wheel sensors, where they attach to backing plates.
It's no big technical job, it's just a little time with a dremel, but it has to be done since the axle flanges are indeed different.
Here's a link with pics showing exactly what I am talking about.

I had several pics showing the differences, but they are gone...

I'm also thinking of welding up the tubes before I throw it in. It'd be the best time to do it.
I guess I can PM the guy and tell him that I don't need the 3 ch axles? That way I can save a little bit on shipping.
