does anyone know what is interchangeable from the gen 4 to the gen 3 or the corvette to the gen 3?? just trying to get some ideas and was curious. And I'm talking pretty much anything besides motors. the motors are pretty universal in themselves as we all know.

Are you asking only about Corvettes? Only about F-Bodys? Or are you asking about swapping parts, other than the engine, from the Corvette to the F-Body?Fred

that's a pretty vague question...87 GTA: it's winter time, all tore apart

Problem is that the C4 'vettes - depending on year - for example had several different engines (Cross-Fire TBI, L98 TPI, LT1) and two different manual trannies (Doug Nash 4+3, ZF 6-speed). After the engine, not much is going to be shared with the F-Body.... nothing else in the drivetrain, nothing in the suspension, no body parts, no electronics. I think GM might have pirated the rear disc brakes from the C4 for the 4th Gen F-Bodys.
Yes, you can put a 4th Gen LT1 or LS1 in the 3rd Gen F-Body, but only with a major conversion of the EFI controls, wiring harness, PCM, and in some cases the tranny. 4th Gen rear suspension is identical to the 3rd Gen. Front suspension is totally different. Driveshafts are the same. Rear axle assembly is identical, except for the fact the 3rd Gen rear is 3" narrower than a 4th Gen. Wheels have significantly different offsets.
Got to pin it down a bit more as to what specific parts you have in mind.Fred

it was a purposefully vague question. I just wanted to know in general if anyone knew of the areas that were interchangeable. I just bought a 92 rs and it's my first f-body so i was just curious.1992 RS 305 TBI, 700r4, 3:42 gears, Detroit TrueTrac Limited Slip, MSD wires, coil, cap & rotor, Hypertech Chip, 180 degree thermostat, 200 degree fan switch,Comment

Driveshaft
Seats
All of the rear suspension
