This belongs in the transmission section.
@mrvedit may be able to move it. Or one of the moderators of this section.

Also...if you typed a thread that made sense rather than gibberish, that will help you get better answers

Sorry I'm not a moderator in this section and therefore cannot move it to Transmissions.

Swap bell housings. Everything else should be the same.

Let me be a little more clear here since all you're doing is trolling.

To the OP,
There are two input shafts and stator tubes for a 4.3 and V8. 298mm and 300mm. You could have either depending on the years of the transmissions. They are easy to differentiate.

The transmission behind the 4.2L engines will not interchange with the V6 or V8 without replacing parts.

That's a stark difference from "swap bellhousings and everything else will be the same"
