Is it possible without heavy modification? Mounting brackets in similar places as the 4thgen, will it fit size wise? I'll do it if someone can assure me it will work.

 

have fun with spending the money on that

 

Might as well just buy a 5th gen.

 

Jeeze I swear - some people are utterly useless.

If you guys are just going to say "Buy a 5th gen" or "good luck with spending money on that" - quit wasting bandwidth.

This is obviously a "Can it be done?"
not "HEY IMMA DO THIS"


Now that my rant is over.

I really can't see this being possible with out a lot of fabrication/modifying.
It's definitely true that this would be an insane investment to do it.

We gotta remember the new camaro is not an F-Body anymore and stuff wont bolt in from it.

 

that would be awesome though!!!!!!! if only it wouldnt cost so much

 

yeah even obtaining one would be half the battle.

you'd either have to buy a 5th gen and take it out.

or

find a wrecked one (there arent many)

 

I've already seen three 5th gens wrecked already, the kind of people who have been buying them now are completely useless and can't drive. luckily they were v6s. come on how can someone be so wreckless to have crashed a brand new car.

Anyway anthing can be done with heavy modifaction like DomesticCheese said.

 

Would it really be that hard to go to your local GM and order a complete dash assembly?


(And yes, I know it would be $$$)

 

yeah i thought of mentioning that but knowing a chevy dealer, the price would be ridiculous for just the dash and accessories with it

 

There's a 5thgen dash on Ebay right now. I've got some measurements, I'll see if it will fit size wise.


I'm rebuilding the car from the ground up, so why cut corners.

Dash wont fit without a lot of modification. It lacks 5 inches in width

 

the 4th gen dash is close to that isnt it? i'm putting a dash from an 01 in mine there's 1 1/2 - 2 inches on each side i think i remember reading. hard to make look fantastic but its what i want opposed to a stock dash with autometer gauges.

 

I think that since the 4th gen cars were designed when third gen cars were still being made, a lot of the dimensions and mounting of pieces were similar. The gap between 5th and 4th gen cars means they werent as able to recycle dimensions and such nearly as much as they did before. I think anything 5th gen is going to be significantly further off from our cars than any of the 4th gen stuff was.

In short, Im sure it's a lot more work than a 4th gen swap was even when that was a "new" idea.
