Re: Just wrecked my 95'Z28!

Just to satisfy my curiosity...what's your age?? And why were you doing 90mph??

Anyway, I think your asking if the 4th gen x-member will fit into a 3rd gen.

The two cars are totally different up front. Different suspension, different steering system, and different motors. I would be shocked if it even bolted up, let alone all the other parts fit.

Ya might do a little searching before you post stuff like this. If you looked a little bit, you might of actually found this:Common LT1 swap questions

It's a sticky at the top of the forum you just posted in. It'll give you an idea of what's in store for ya if you wanna swap your lt1/4l60.

Oh, and idiots cut me off all the time. But because I'm doing the SPEED LIMIT(around traffic anyways), my car has survived all of them. There is no such thing as an "accident". Somebody has to neglect/break the rules for a collision to occur.

forget the k-member, don't need it and enourmous amount of work to get it to fit. take the engine off the k-member, put it in the '82, notch your k-member if you want to keep a/c.
