brakes Will brakes from an '02 Firehawk bolt onto a 67 Camaro. Front brakes are already discs, rear end is a 12 bolt, if that matters. I'd like to swap whatever I can onto the Camaro. Donor car is a 2002 Firehawk 6 speed. Engine and tranny are going to the Camaro, I might keep the Firebird rear-end just to have it, but would like to upgrade the Camaro where I can.
Yes they will fit with a little work. I did it on a 69 Camaro. You will need drum brake hubs and spindels(a disc brake spindel will work with a spacer on the top mount). you will have to make your own adaptor bracket to bolt the caliper bracket to the spindel and have a machine shop cut down the outer diameter of the drum brake hub so the LS1 rotor will slide over it.

LS brakes on a 67 Camaro Yes, they will work. You will need adapter hardware like Re' said. Studs will probably have to be replaced I think to go to a longer stud since they will have to reach past the thickness of the rotor hat as well. There has been a LOT of discussion about the hub: a custom aluminum vs a cut down gbody rotor.
