not easily is the answer, i believe. The drum and disc cars have diffferent halfshafts, either lobro or tripode type, hence the diffs are different
too. But on the bright side, you dont need discs anyway (IMHO and allegedly) nowt wrong with a 1.8 donor, except the engine, which wants binning!

i used the driveshafts from my 1.8cvh sierra, and got some brackets from darren (GTS), and got hold of some rear callippers from another sierra ant
they bolt straight on.
the things you need from the drum braked sierra are:
diff,driveshafts, hub, bearings. all you need from the disc braked sierra is the callippers as far as i can remember.
all the best,
Tom
