i have a 95 caprice that needs a tranny and i can get the tranny from a 95 camaro for $100 . i know the camaro has a 5.7 lt1 and a 4l6oe tranny , so will everything hook up with no problem??

The VSS may be different (axle ratio) but the rest should be a direct exchange.

Swap the tailshaft housing and the TC cover setup will be different because they are different cases.

Hmm. I wasn't aware of the tailshaft differences on the cars, only the trucks (and obviously the 4WDs). I thought the input bell was the same bolt-on for all SBCs, no? I know the 262 V6 has no inspection cover, but do Camaro V-8s use a similar setup? I know the converters vary in diameter.

Enlighten me. I've been in a few of these and I guess I never paid that much attention to the outside.

The difference is on the output tail cones on these - if I am not mistaken. The Camaro uses a different style rear trans mount than the avg. 4L60E.

Different tranny mount and provisions for a torque arm.

The converters are the same diameter just a little different stall.

The inspection cover is supposed to be a little different plastic and small screws instead of sheetmetal and bolts, just make sure to get that cover with the tranny.

The b-body uses a "K" case which is the same as the trucks, the f-body case was a little different only hassle about it should be the inspection cover and the tailshaft housing though.

The tailshaft housing I have first hand knowledge of as I have an example of each in my garage, the inspection cover is just something my tranny guy told me about.
