don't you have an LT1 car? Assuming stock brakes, those fronts are really not worth any effort to retrofit; maybe the rears. Booster can be modified to work but it is certainly no bolt in. the master might depending on what brakes and booster you end up using (bore sizing, etc., comes into play) and then you have line differences
