I would like to retain the e-brake and won't be able to with the 996 rear rotor.

Thanks
Why not? I have 996 rear rotors and calipers on my '77. The rotor drops right on, need to drill a hole in the hat to access the adjuster, just a small amount of e-brake shoe not engaged. But still perfectly usable as a parking brake.

The calipers and adapters take a little more work, least on my trailing arms. But they fit.

Consider talking to Instant-G about their kit - that's what I used. If you already have calipers, they're happy to supply just adapters and fasteners and/or custom front hub (lets you use the stock 996 front rotor). Then the calipers are working with the rotors they were designed to use - and a set of 4 of those is $200 drop-shipped..
