NO Not exactly...You need to change the tailshaft...Vette tailshaft is completely different... Other than the tailshaft the rest is the same as far as bolt pattern goes...
Corvettes are an inch shorter in length (in most cases), it will not work!? The driveshaft length will have to be changed, to make it work. I am not crazy about this, be careful.
Hi,
Thanks for the info, PBA. I wasn't going to try swapping tailshafts, and I sure won't think of it now with the possibility of having to deal with a custom driveshaft. I had a bad experience (many years ago) with reassembling a Muncie 4 speed standard tranny, lol, so I've decided to leave that work to the pro's like yourself.
I just wanted the vette unit because of the better servo, etc.
