Default transmission interchangeability

Got an odd question to ask, but I figured this would be the best place to find the answer...

Had a friend just blow the trans in her '98 Camaro this morning. It has a 3.8 in it and a 4L60E.

I have access to a recently rebuilt 4L60E from a '97 Z/28 (car got wrecked, so we'd have to yank it out)....

Originally, I was trying to find out if these are interchangeable... after some research, as I suspected, the V-6 uses the small bellhousing pattern as opposed to the larger GM V-8 pattern... then the topic of interchangeable bellhousings came up...

Is it correct that the '93-'97 4L60E's have non-interchangeable bellhousings, while '98-up do?

Looks like this idea will not work out for us at all... any ideas where to find a good used trans for a V-6 car?

Thanks in advance for any help, I know its a little off topic of the normal high performance trans stuff, but its hard to find information like this...

THE EARLY cases did not have removable bells, you will need one specifically for the 3.8 v6 also
