Direct bolt in? No. Got a welder and some skill? Yes.

make that a lot of skills. moving the brackets is one thing, making a torque arm mount is another story.

Re: 8.5 inc 10 bolt fit in 89 camaro
Strange and Moser make bolt in 12 bolt rear ends for these cars. The 8.5 could be used if you also used a ladder bar suspension or other after market suspension. A good chassis shop could install it. Have you checked the width of the 8.5 and compared it to the rear end under your car?
