Yes, it will bolt up, but you will have to check out the wiring to the solenoids on the valve body. The 1983's had 2-3-4 lockup (too busy), the 1988's had 3-4 lockup only & this is what you want. The 1988's had many improvements over the 1983's. Make sure you use the torque converter that came with the 1988, it is a 30 spline. The 1983 is a 27 spline.
Hope This Helps!!!

I just noticed you said it is out of a 1988 Corvette? Then the tail housing is completely different & apx. 1" shorter & will not work, and possibly the transmission did not come with mounting holes for the transmission mount. A 1988 & later out of a 3rd gen would work though.
