You need to change the bellhousing, torque converter, input shaft/drum, and pump stator/whole pump. And probably the 2nd servo and accumulator in the valve body. And the 1-2 3-4 accumulator springs.
Assuming its a two piece case.

No its actually a one piece case its a 4l60e from a 97 camaro with the 3.8l but im guessing it wouldnt fit on the LT1 engines since the bellhousing on the LT1 have a 90 degree angle and the one on the 3.8l have a 60 degree angle bellhousing am i correct

It won't work at all then. There are no adapters, nothing (I've seen this question asked a million times).

Thats an odd question, are you trying to sell it?

Usually people ask which other transmission will fit their vehicle not which vehicle will fit the transmission.

Just vehicles that use a Buick 3800 series II or III engine, that are also rear wheel drive...

As far as I can remember, that would only include 4th gen F-bodies... Sorry.
