4th gen camaro wing

hey guys. i most likely will be getting a wing off a 98 z28 camaro for 8 bucks. thats right 8 bucks. so i figure its worth a shot at trying to fab it up to fit my 86 camaro. i have a few questions. does anyone have any info on this swap? i have been looking for about a half hour now and cant find anything. secondly is it to short or to long to fit the maro? will i need to cut or extend the wing at all? thanks

pete

oh yeah here is the pic. i hope it works

yeah that would have been a cool experiment....someone should go grab the dimensions off a 4th gen wing because if itd be an okay size its always possibly to find a way to mount it.

Holy smokes $185? Where is that guy at in China? Even if it was shiped via a truck line it would be like $60 bucks to ship something that light.
