    Your have to **** about with it all due to the stuff being big block. Rear is easy, eather turn your drums into swiss chease or convert to discs.

    Front is a right pain. Your eather have to cut and shut some shafts or find another way.

    search tho!

    You'll need custom shafts, going from a small block inner cv, to a big block outer cv. You'll have to convert the rear beam to disc.
    Just dont let him.

    Custom shafts will have to be made, so you're looking £150+ min for them.

    Then everything else, why dont you just tell him not to be a dick.
