Default From TA to Z06 Vette

What main parts will transfer from a TA to a Vette. I have a Built 383 with all bolt-ons. Built T-56 with viper output shaft. 9" rearend and all normal mods in between. Looking into a Z06 and would like to swap most everything over to it and take my firehawk back to stock and sell it. Dont know much about vettes so any info would help.

The motor is the only thing that will swap over. The vette tranny's are in the rear so im pretty sure yours wont work.

Vette's have IRS so your 9" is useless unless you buy a solid axle conversion I guess.

at least 405...but more than that really. depends on if the car has been abused or not. i would look at the torque tube bushings/couplers to see if they are worn or not. from there, the rest is pretty good. you may want to look into one of the HD output shafts for the left hand side. Ours runs 289.95.
