80 FWD Rear End on '84 CGT?

[Ben Swann]

It just bolts in.  You van do the whole swap by dropping the arm with
calipers, etc.  

 

You'll need to swap out struts in the front too, or use from later CGT.  The
carriers for the brakes are different size and AFAIK won't allow the calipers
to interchange. 

 

Change springs and struts back to match the car.

 

I did this swap on this '83' CGT and installed turbo engine:

Looked in the FA and archives and don't seem to find much on rear end upgrades
for early '84 CGT. I am looking to upgrade my rear end brakes to disk and
4x108 hubs. Any info or BTDT would be of great help. Also conversion of front
4x100 to 4x108 would go along with upgrade.

TIA
