1) would like to know if a dash and center console from 82-92 f-body will fit into an 80 el camino-would really like the floor shifter and the covans? dash cluster

2) would like to know if a 10 bolt rear from a 73 el camino will fit in to the 80 elky

3) would like to know if some shorty headers for 82-92 f-body will fit in to the 80 elky with 350sbc

1) Not without a bunch of fab work and some major tweaking of the F-body parts.

2) Again, not without some major fabrication work. While a Grand National rear woudl be better, it's tough to find them. Aside form finding a stronger G-body based rear (like maybe a Monte Carlo SS, or lucking out and finding a GN rear) any existing stronger rear is gonna need some fab work to mount in your Elky. If you've got money, I believe Moser or someone sells a 12-bolt housing designed for G-bodies.

3) They might, but late model headers are chassis specific, so they're designed to run around the steering box and other chassis parts. You're better off getting headers specific Elky.
