Default It doesnt fit!

Is there any difference between the bellhousing of a 2001 camaro ls1 and a 2002 corvette ls1?

The reason i ask is because i have a GM brand new 2002 corvette transmission bellhousing and it is ALOT smaller than the engine bellhousing of a 2002 5.3L truck engine that i have.

I am assuming the engine block bellhousings are the same on LS1, LM7(5.3l) and the 6.0L.

Anyone have any insight to all this?

Oh, my! The F-body bell is nothing at all like a Y-body bell. The Y car's transmission is in the rear axle and connects to the bell with a torque tube, while the F car's trans bolts directly to the bell. No way they'll come close to interchanging.

Yes, the rear transaxle started with the C5.

Yep c4s were normal, c5s got the rear biased setup.
