nope they are model specific.














































































of course you can use them, all 98-02 Fbody parts are swappable. though some may require slight modification or the deletion of emissions. i.e 01+ headers on a 99, 01+ intake on a 00, ect.

but we all know camaro parts are better

Fbody = Camaro/Firebird platform. He wasn't saying body parts. He said all Fbody parts.
