LS1 Brakes for B-body? Ok so this is a bit off topic but I thought someone in here would know.... I know there have been a lot of folks wrenching on Caprices and Impala SS's in here. The brakes on these vehicles were never great. My built 495 Oldsmobile stroker in my slammed 79 98 Regency makes about triple the horsepower the stock 403 made. I'm sure a few guys have adapted LS1 F body calipers onto the stock B body 12 inch rotors. Can anyone point me in the direction of adapter brackets? Thanks!

Kore3 sells a kit to bolt on c5&6 brakes. I've been told 98-02 f-body rear disc's will bolt on to the 10 bolt in a b-body. The only thing you would need to make is an 1/8" spacer for the axle flange.
Sounds right to me. The 8.5" ten bolt I had prior to my current one had LS1 f-body brake brackets on it and a OEM 90s B-body diff unit (picked because it used stronger 30 spline axles). I had to add about 1/8" of space between the flange and the brake mounting plate to get things to line up right. IIRC, GM passenger car rear axles pretty much all have the same bolt pattern at the axle flange ends, so a good many brake options may interchange.
