That is more of a universal kit. stainless steel brakes makes a nice kit but it is pricy. You could make that kit work if you wanted to.good luck

here is the link: Summit SUM-BK1322 - Summit® Rear Drum-to-Disc Brake Conversion Kits - summitracing.com

those are designed for a 4-bolt housing end, and staggered shocks. us G-body owners are plagued with GM's "metric" housing end, put into use for no other reason but to save money during production. this design uses 3 bolt holes, so in order to use that kit, you would have to drill 2 new holes in the housing end, and possibly deal with shock clearance issues (as a matter of fact, aerospace makes the only kit that doesn't cause shock interference.)

so it will not be straightforward, if it is possible at all.
