If it does fit , What are you going to do for a parking brake?

LS1 style have a different backing plate. The caliper mounts in the front of the wheel and the LT1's mount at the rear of the wheel.

You'd have to pull the axles to swap the backing plates.

Why are you wanting to switch rear calipers?
