God of Magnificant Ideas!
If only life was that easy 
Ofcourse you can "do it", but your braking will be WORSE than it currently is, reason being that the large fronts fitted to the rear axle will overpower the front brakes so much that they will simply lock the rears up and leave little braking in the front.
You can overcome this by adding in a brake proportioning valve ....... if you can get the right one that is.
For a disc brake conversion have a wander through the "Bible" in particular DrFrankenstiens thread about his disc brake conversion...... he used commodore discs and calipers .......

as V8 Patrol said
My conversion is still in, and no problems, brakes better than original.

Sweet, thanks.
So, Screwy mentions that it has been done with other calipers and dics. Anyone know what ones? I'd like to do it, but I would prefer to not have to machine or redrill discs. I'd love to just make up a plate and bolt it onto the axel, slot the dics on then bolt the caliper to it and drive away.
