Default Backing plate swap lt1 to ls1

Is it possible to take a ls1 style 4ch tcs backing plate and parking brake system and make it work with a lt1 4ch with a Dana60? I'm doing a ctsv front brake upgrade and for mainly the looks angle I'd like larger rear brakes to go with it like possibly the matching ctsv rears....any input or thought

I don't see why not. LT1 and LS1 rear backing plates use the same bolt pattern, so if LT1 brakes fit on that rear end, LS1 should too.

My thoughts go more towards the speed sensor and ruluctor..... Not sure if they are the same diameter so if the lt1 and sensor will mount the same as the ls style...plus I thought I read somewhere that there is a difference in axle lengths

Not sure about the reluctor sensors, but I've read that about the axles too. When I swapped to rear LS brakes, I just took the axles to be safe.
