If I were to swap an RMZ swingarm onto an RM which im pretty sure works does any one know if the rear brake caliper would work as well? The thing that hooks onto the swingarm on the caliper is different and I need to know if it would still work on the wheel correctly.
The RMZ and RM rear brakes do not switch over unfortunately

It's gonna look a real mess, and maybe dangerous getting the sprocket in line with the counter sprocket
RM axle blocks may work in an RMZ swingarm, if not you will need to use RMZ blocks and get spacers machined for those as well.
And as Bruce372 stated the RM and RMZ wheel spacing is different so you will then need to get custom spacers machined for the RM wheel to hold it in the correct place in the RMZ swingarm.
An RMZ wheel and axle would be an easier and safer option.
Also, have you looked into the linkage positioning on the RMZ swingarm to see if it differs from the RM?
If the linkage knuckle bolt hole position is different in relation to the swingarm frame pivot hole then it could potentially effect the rising rate curve of the linkage and create a funky handling rear end, it could also cause the rear end to sit at the wrong height.
