No, its a 4L65E. It will physically bolt up, but it requires a special computer to tell it to shift. You need a 700R4/4L60 from '87 to '93.

I figured it would not due to some computer thing. I found a wrecked 99 SS convertible in the junkyard and parts are cheap just finding out if I can upgrade any of my stuff.

ACTUALLY, you can, but it will involve upgrading to the later model TBI truck PCM and wiring up the transmission. I did it in a 1987 TBI 2.8 S10 using a 4L60E out of a 1995 Camaro with a 3.4.

Re: auto transmission from a 99 ss

With further research I read it is possible to do it with a standalone computer but they are a bit pricey.

I found a rather large junkyard that has flat rates on everything.

all v8's 125$ all transmissions 75$ with a core charge of course but its only like 20$

I found a 99 SS convertible in the back that was wrecked bad but the tranny could be ok..... also found 2 none cracked dashpads for 10$ a peace lol and fenders for 20$. All junkyards i ever been to have been crazy on price's but this guy don't care.
