I did the WS6 swap last fall. I picked up a freebie WS6 rear, removed all the disc brake parts and started from there. I didn't keep the rear because it had 2.41's I sand blasted and painted the mounting brackets and used the calipers for cores. I ordered a new 9 inch dual diaphram booster and a 79 T/A WS6 M/C. While I was at it I replaced all the hard lines (front and rear) with stainless, replaced all the flex lines, all four rotors, the front calipers as well as the rears, e-brake cables (front to rear) and bought a correct brass proportioning valve from NPD (They do carry it in their Firebird Catalog). The whole thing cost me around $850.00. That's not really bad to replace the entire, and I mean entire braking system. People at shows think that the car came from the factory like that until I tell them what I did. While I was at it I replaced the axle bearings and seals (cost not included in brake system replacement).
