Default Handbrake-issue after L98 engine/trans/transfer case swap

Hello

I have swapped in a LT98 engine (Chevrolet Corvette 1986) with a matching Chevrolet transmission 700r4 (4L60) and a Chevrolet 4wd transfer case.


Problem now:
The stock handbrake-drum does not fit anymore.


I guess all of you that swapped in a LS or similar engine might have experienced the same challenge.
or maybe some of you converted the handbrake for other reasons.


How did you solve it?

I thought of a conversion to a disc-handbrake conversion Kit offered from X ENG

see here:

Perhaps also an electronic parking brake could be a solution?

I havn‘t found any already converted example.


Any advice is appretiated
