LT1 Car getting LS1 GU5 Help! As some of you know my 94 Formula's 10 bolt gave up the ghost and my carrier was completely destroyed in the process. I have a friend who Im getting a GU5 axle from out of his 99 Z28, he said he is taking the calipers, pads, and break lines.
I have the entire axle out of my 94, and have everything needed to put it back together again minus the carrier which was destroyed. I dont run traction control or ABS so its pretty straight forward in and out. Im a wrong in thinking I can just swap out backing plates and use my existing lines, calipers, rotors, and pads from my original axle on the newer 99 Z28 axle? I would just puller the Carrier out of the 99s Axle and put it in my axle but Im afraid the housing just isnt good anymore, and I am sure it have at least double the miles.
From what I understand the rear breaks on an LS1 are nothing special, and I already have the LS1 front break convertion. So am I missing anything I will need to put together one complete axle and get my car back on the road?
