Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

its been mentioned on thios thread before, i beleive the only ones that fit without heavy modding are the early 93-97 t/a spoliers but go back in this thread an check for sure

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Yep I did the gas tank today and it fits great! Only had to take a little bit of rubber away!

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

I still have a 86 iroc with the tpi motor and i don't plan on changing it any time soon. So would I be using the lt1 cluster for the 4th gen dash for everything to work? I wad a little lost not that.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

if your switching the whole dash than yes unless you wanted to mold the 3rd into the 4th, but youd have to figure out how to make it work

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

With my iroc being a 86 would are wiring be the same?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

as the 4th gens...........nooooooooo

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Sorry I meant to say the same as you wiring write up

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

:eek:ok does anyone no if the rear trunk interior panels are direct fit or even close to direct fit im trying to add some t top holders ....

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

likely not, go pick smoe up for acheap at a junkyard and chek. im guessing not they arent exactly the same so if you were able to make it work at all yourd have to cut alot. thirdgens had t top holders

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

:thanks:ya a bag and strap i guess u can say a t top holder but ya i just wasnt real sure its only my 2nd third gen and the first one was a big flop it was hit pretty hard in the rear so i ditched it before i got in to deep. this is my first real camaro though i havent even picked it up yet i get this monday its my christmas present should be a lot of fun Ive wanted one for a long time

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

understood like i said if you can find a set of 4th gen ones cheap mod those out or something if your really tha determined on it. also take into consideration that the holders may not fit onto 3rd gen t tops

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

ya thats the part i wasnt realy sure about if the t tops them selfs would even fit in those holders i guess im just looking to do something different ya know everyone has the 4th gen interiors which was my idea years ago.... (like almost 10yrs now) and now there in tons of 3rd gens ok well thanks

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

wich dash,radio pod and center console is the best fitment/easiest to use in a camaro?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

considering they all interchange id say roughly the same amount of work for each. if your looking for easy stick with your stock dash

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

okay. i wanna change later so i´ll have to take the time and fix it then. it look soo much better.

Btw, from wich car is thhis dash,door panels and center console from and year?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

trans am/trans am/trans am. i think they only had one dash style whereas camaros had two

if anything 98-02 i know for sure dont know about 93-97

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

I need more info on your swap what all did you do to put the 4th gen gas tank in your 3rd gen?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

can you please give me more information about the gas tank swap. Will the stock fuel sending unit fit?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

do a search. its been covered a few times

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

I did a search but could not find specifics. I need to know stuff like will i have to re splice the connectors to make the 4th gen pump and sending unit work in the 3rd gen. Will there be too much pressure pumping the gas to my 305 tbi ect.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

if your using the 4th gen pump on a tbi youll need a regulator. pump should be the same, in order to make the gas guage work i believe you can use a 98-02 v6 fbody snding unit and that will properly connect into the thirdgen guages. idk how to connect all the evap stuff but for lines just cut off the 4th gen plastic a little but and connect rubber hose to metal stock hardlines

Re: 4th gen seats
 

Ive placed electric 4th gen seats in my 3rd gen. Not hard at all. Even with the wiring, nothing hard about it.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

I will have to replace my fuel lines or can i use my current lines?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

It was a direct bolt in. Not sure about the wiring however, sorry. I reused the whole fourth gen harness for my swap.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Just a shot of my 86's interior

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

It's coming along nicely. I need to add this to my growing list of mods :).

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

just my opinion but i don't think the forth gen dashes are any more attractive than the third gen dashes.has anyone swapped in the dash from another car?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Quick question:

Anyone have any in-progress pics for pretty decent fitting 98+ consoles? IDK what happened to mine... It fit pretty good in the 87, but the front has lifted a full inch in the 88? I don't think the radio pod made that much of a difference in the 87...

Currently finishing some loose ends with the 93 dash, mostly aftermarket wiring, but still need to get terminals for the C100 and the wires I need to add to it that it doesn't have (reverse lights for the T-5, for one thing). Personally, having had a 93 Grand Prix and been in J-bodies that had a gap between the front of the console and the bottom of the dash, I don't think the 3" gap (estimated) between the bottom of the 93's radio trim and the front of the 98 console is that bad. I just had to stuff the wires for the console under the carpet. Possibly a good place for gauges?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

i thought the tbi had built in regulators?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

so does anyone have a 4th gen dash installed ??? what else is interchangeable?? naw, im just kidding guys, but for real though, how bout weatherstripping on convertibles?? are those interchangeable?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

it does but they are sorta random, some run at one pressure some at others. i took mine off my truck and put a regulator with a guage so i could read it and you can bump up the pressure a little too which helps power a little too.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

good information guys.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Well, I got the console to fit... Took a couple hours cutting and sanding in the compartment and underneath and I ended up drilling a hole in the floor pan for a front bolt.

Wiring is finished, but I haven't tested the VSS yet. I know the reverse light switch works, though.

Moving on to the park brake lever... The switch on the back of mine broke. The lever seems to like to sit too high for my liking with the console. Assuming I keep the same cables (staying drum for now), does the complete lever assembly swap rather easily (as in bolt and go)? I'm going to have to either get the lever out of the 93 donor at the J/Y, or one or the other replacement brake light switches (I haven't wired in the 3rd gen connector to the 4th gen harness yet and/or lengthened the 4th gen wire).

Oh, and with some minor trimming to the housing, the power window switch from an 88-93 W-body fits in the hole for the 98-02 ashtray. Auto down is nice :D .

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

For the plastic gas tank swap I had to splice the connector coming out of the 3rd gen body to the connector going into the tank. I had to trim the filler neck, and since I'm using the tank on a tpi engine, I had to remove the fuel pressure regulator from the fuel pump. I also had to cut a plastic support off of the tank to make it fit. This may not be entirely necessary, but the support wasnt doing anything, so I cut it to make my life easier. If you want to know how much gas is in the tank, you'll have to get an aftermarket gauge that matches the resistance values of the new tank. I never did figure out what I had to do to make the evap system work, I'd like to know that myself actually.

I also bought some fuel hose from autozone, and clamped one end to the pump's ports, and the other ends to the metal lines of the 3rd gen. The sender line is setup on the third gen such that it screws in, so I just cut off the end of the metal line on the 3rd gen's tank and clamped the rubber fuel line to it. You absolutely do not need new lines, just about ten bucks of fuel hose.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Also, do 4th gen front seat belts fit? I know you have to cut the notch for rear belts, but I never saw anything about the fronts.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Ending my 3 rd gen project car and finding that the steering column is dead. Can I use a 2000 Camaro column I have in a trashed car ? Anyone has done such a swap ?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

I would like to know what swaps over FROM a 3rd gen into a 4th gen. I'm looking to get a 4th gen camaro or firebird V6 5 spd, and I may have found a '94 camaro, but it needs driver's side door hinges and a driver's side door latch, and all I can find online are passenger sides for some reason. I can't even find any mention of a driver's side door latch. If I can't swap them from 3rd to 4th, does anybody know where I can find these things new, just in case I get the car?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

still asking if i can put a 4th gen steering column in a 3rd gen

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

read this thread and youll find out.about everything swappable has been answered in this thread
yes

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Hello Tyler,
thx for your answer. Do you have wiring schematic so i can look how to plug the 4th gen one in my 3rd gen car ?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

i do not.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Are front sway bars interchangeable between 3rd and 4th gens? I've seen reference to such but nothing specific.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Any modifications needed to be done to the third gen camaro to make this work?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

have to modify the filler neck basically cut the neck and use a rubber hose and two hose clamps otherwise it fits up the as well as the thirdgen one.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

If I had the money it would make sense to do driveshaft, rear end and tank all at the same time.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

if you had the money you call me and my work builds you a custom driveshaft that wont break easily at all!

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Tyler, how much would a driveshaft from your work cost?

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

depends on material, amount of power your pushing which dictates what u joint style to use, what yokes, what size tube etc etc. pm me and i can give you my shops number, i dont know pricing but jamie does like its the back of his hand so hed be the guy to talk to. just say that i recomended you talk to him from thirdgen.

Re: 4th Gen Interior/Exterior compatibilty List
 

Rear yes, not sure on front.
