    How many GM's are in your GM?

    Due to GM's love to make things interchange to keep costs down, many parts spanning many years interchange on GM vehicles. So in your GM car or truck, how many items are from other vehicles, not the same model?

    If I had to make a list for my Montes it would be quite long, ranging from the easy (engine, wheels, rear end) to odds and ends (vanity mirror, steering wheel, power seat).

    Vette Engine
    Vette Trans
    C5 Z06 front brakes
    Otherwise everything else in it would just come from it's sedan platform mate, the Commodore.
    Well, at the very least, I have an interesting back story.

    I'm confused.

    Does this mean that my engine was also in the corvette, firebird, caprice, roadmaster, fleetwood?

    Or my T-56/flywheel is from a 96 T/A
    Clutch/pressure plate/shifter was in that same 96 T/A but it's aftermarket stuff
    Rotors are from a 95 T/A
    Windshield visor is from a 94 V6 camaro
    Clutch/brake/gas pedals from a different car, unknown (call it car A)
    Shifter insert from yet another unknown car (car B)
    Starter is an LT4 reman bought at a parts store - so was originally in a 96 corvette grand sport.
    Alternator is a reman, so yet another unknown car (car C)
    It had a driveshaft from a 98 or 99 1LE camaro but I broke it.
    Wheel center cap from yet another unknown car (Car D)

    So at least 9 other GMs by that method...

    I'm not too sure... due to my near-complete ignorance of the mechanical workings of something that I love to drive Offhand, I believe my GM(C) has the 700R4 automatic tranny used in early 90's 'Vettes and the gauge cluster from the turbo Pontiac Sunbird. Also, it shares the body (except for the cladding) of the late-80's/early-90's S-10 Blazer/S-15 Jimmy.
