4th gen rear end into a 3rd gen

Will a 4th gen rear end fit in a third gen. Will it bolt in directly or is there a lot of mods that need to be done. Thanks for the info.

Yes it will bolt directly just that your stock wheels will stick out more

I absolutely hate it it when people say "stick out" when they should say they SET out.

They will be out farther yes, but still be under the fenders (with stock 16" wheels).
The blue Camaro has a 4th gen rear end & stock 16" wheels. You can clearly see that they are still completely under the fenders.
