Default Torque Arm

My torque arm is busted off my 97 Camaro SS, I may be able to get a used one off a 6 cylinder camaro. Would this part be interchangable? I'm assuming any Z28 torque arm would work, but just looking for a second opinion. Thanks in advance.
PS: torque arm connecting the tranny and rear end.

Money is key here. Checked the local salvage yards and only 4th gen available is a 6 cylinder model. Unless I can take the part off a 3rd gen.

I have a stock one from a mid 90's LT1 collecting dust. You can have it. But if you're not near me in IL, shipping might cost you more than what a local boneyard might want for one.

Thank you very much for the offer but the shipping might be a bit much to Canada.
After no luck finding parts for a 4th gen at the local salvage yards I looked for the torque arm off a 3rd gen. With luck I found one off an 87 Camaro, and yes, the torque arms will are interchangeable. Only difference is that the end that mounts up to the transmission is flipped 180 degrees, so you have to make sure to get the bracket off the 3rd gen as well. Unfortunately I didn't realise the difference until I got home and the yard was already closed so I'll have to go again tomorrow Although I jacked up my brothers 89 RS and the bracket looks like it will swap with no altercations.
