you want them for the front or rear? A true Z/28 came with discs up front.
for the front there are a lot of different cars that will fit

If you are convertering it with a conversion kit, You'll need a booster, master cylinder, and proprtioning valve. The front brakes hold 70% of your stopping power so I would just swap the fronts unless they already are. The rear should be left as drums because you'll have to do extensive tuning of the proportioning valve. The drums are also lighter.
