I can see about getting some pics one day this week. I believe the difference is that the top flange is vertical on the Camaro and horizontal on the Novas. My dash top was replaced and since that part isn't available for a Nova the shop used one for a Camaro. The flange for mounting the console was all that was swapped.

I also think think the right side of the gauge console is different between the 2 models. The Camaro wraps around and the Nova does not.

Just curious but why do you want to swap them? There is much better aftermarket support for the Camaro dash consoles than for the Novas. I've asked DSE a million times about doing a Nova dash like their Camaro dash. No luck so far. Once you go with an aftermarket gauge console the dash will be almost identical anyway. Exception being the center "bulge" in the Camaro dash.

I've kicked myself more than once for not swapping my Nova to a Camaro dash since I was having the dash top replaced anyway.

Which metal console are you looking at for the Novas? The PVW one?
