First of all, I want to say hi since this is my first post. I'm not new to the club, but I just got my account approved for the website.

Only two vehicles are F-body's: the Camaro and Firebird, and I'll bet if you go look at the fourth letter in your VIN, it will be an "F". A Y-body, which is a Corvette or the Cadillac XLR, incorporates a rear-mounted transaxle instead of a transmission mounted directly to the engine. Power is transferred to the transaxle via a torque tube.
