5th Gen differential on a 3rd gen?

Hello everyone, does anyone know if the differential off a 2010 Camaro SS will go on a 3rd gen? I have the chance of getting an entire rear end from one for a good price. so before buying it I want to make sure it can fit into my car, which is a 91 Firebird. Is there a way I can make it work? I've tried searching for info here and in many other places but I can't find anything on the subject, I hope someone here can answer my question, thanks!

It will not just bolt in. If I remember correctly, the new ones use IRS and ours use a solid axle. With enough fab skill, anything is possible though. But it would take a lot of work to get in.

They are nothing alike.
