Default Need to find badly!

I have a 4.3l motor and tranny from a 91 GMC Jimmy I have looked everywhere I can think of trying to find a 3rd gen camaro that I want to put it in. All I want is a roller with little to no body damage. I'm all out of options if anyone can help me it would be very appreciated. Either let me know a good place to look or if anyone knows where to find one. I'm in St. louis thanks again.

He has a trans that will work, but it won't have provisions for the torque arm. Don't know if the tail housing on the Jimmy trans is the same length as a Camaro housing, to just swap it. Why a 4.3? At least it's better than the other V6 the 3rd gen's got stuck with.

I bought the Jimmy and Got hit 5 days later the engine is brand new with 10000 miles on it I know ill never get what the engine is worth so i figured i would spend a little more and have a decent vehicle. Im still working out the tranny issues but the motor is worth the investment.

if the jimmy was 2wd, the trans will probably have a long tail shaft, which wont work. if it was 4wd, it definatly wont work. it also doesnt have the torque arm mount as mentioned. if anything, but another blazer with a blown motor and put it in there. i see them often enough
