Malibu Performance (818 222 6725) offers a conversion kit to install the 11" brakes from a 70-81 Camaro/Firebird. The kit consists of upper & lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends.
The kit will also convert 12" brakes from Full Size GM cars, but there could be wheel clearance problems and/or bolt pattern problems with this conversion.

Good luck!

Agree with Bruce but you will need to change the wheels for sure, even with the 11" discs. The original 14"s won't do it. mgg
