What are the specifics of your 'Bird? (I assume your name doesn't reflect it)
Base, Formula, T/A? If by some odd chance you odn't now, V6 or V8?
Not many(or any maybe) V8s in 4th Gen (that I've seen) had Drum.
It is posi, it is Auburn and uses Clutch Disk, however they can go out, or if someone didn't put the additive in then it won't work.
And SLP, the LT1s are a great motor, so hush Long lasting just like the LSx. Plus, the LT1 can hang with the LS1 pretty well from a stand still! (Hang Well: Probably still lose, but not by a **** load till after 80mph~)

The best way to check, is the RPO sheet. I believe yours will still be in the glove box on the door portion. Rectangular sticker, looks like this:
If not there, it'll be on the Driver Door in the jam (on the door, not the body).
If you can get a picture of that, we can figure out everything it has. Most 6s didn't get posi though.
