Default Chevy s-10 zr2 rear swap

I have a 2000 chevy s-10 zr2 truck, 4.3l v6, with an 8.5 inch 3.73 posi unit. Is it possible to somehow put that in my camaro and put my 10 bolt in the camaro in the truck?

If it doesn't have provisions for a torque arm mount you would have to have a mount welded to the truck's axle. As far as the 10 bolt from the camaro working in the S-10 I don't think so because the S-10 is a leaf spring setup.

Anything is possible, but you'd be much cheaper, smarter and better off to simply go with an aftermarket bolt-in 9" or 12 bolt.

Ditto, too much fab work to make it worth while.
