No. Otherwise they would have it listed. 😉

i think the list they have is bs. im buying the kit off of someone second hand. he said it should work cuz he was gonna put it on a project that had an s10 rear but went with an 8.8 instead.

They won't work because the G-body used an oddball axle flange that isn't like any other rear end.

You could use 13" rear LT1 brakes using this bracket though from http://flynbye.com

I don't know what your intents are with your car but I picked up a 12 bolt from an a body, which I believe all those rear ends share the same flange and have found where blazer rear discs fit on it. Its suppose to be the exact same flange and with what I've seen so far it is, I plan to do it before I install the rear in my car. That's if you're considering upgrading from the 7.5

I believe it will work! email Tobin at Kore3 and he will let you know the answer. I use their products all the time and have purchased quite a bit from them.

that being said, there is a much more affordable way to get 12" disc brakes on the rear end. a link in my sig will show you one way. and has links to others

Although my project has a ford 9" and im putting c6 z06 brakes on it (using kore3 brackets)...

I still have the stock 10 bolt i took off. it has the 12" disc brakes on it (including ebrake). if you want I can make a quick video explaining how it was done... and for the price i paid, it hold incredible value...

GM usually used a 4bolt flange--it's on the s-10 rears, the 12 bolt etc. the few rears it was NOT on is the g-body and the f-body's in the 80's.

Even though the flange on the g body cars is different, it has been shown on here numerous times how to modify it for s10 and corvette brakes to work. Does not take much to modify, cut a section off and drill two holes and it is just like all the rest.

this was the typical 10 bolt gbody drum rear end, with the 2 bolts on the bottom and one nut on top

after minor mod

and this is the disc setup on it

very easy to do and very affordable if done right
