Year and Trim: 93 bonneville ssei
So, i have a 93 Bonneville, some of you may have seen my post from a few weeks ago, but i need basically a donor car to get it back up and running.

Now i was thinking about using a 2000+ Bonneville ssei as a donor, engine and trans swap is straight forward. but I'm wondering what could work on the h-body, like i know from looking through posts, you can use w-body knuckles and struts, with h-body, strut tops, but what else could be used? has anyone ever took a deep dive into the differences?

i would mainly be buying it for the series 2/4t65 and wiring harness, but it would be nice if the interior could be made to work for example, since all i have is door panels.

I know i may get some hate, but this h-body cars are getting older, and if there's ways i can use the newer parts ill do it.

There's not a whole lot that transfers over and the W-body 4t65s don't all come with the webbing in the casting for the rear transmission mount that the H-body requires. The W-bodies have a different drivetrain mount setup entirely.

gotcha, that's good, i know the front sub frames are similar, based on looks alone, but if it came down to if i could fab up the mounts if i have too. i don't have may prospects for h-bodys close to be, most are it good condition and i would hate to tear up a perfectly fine one to fix mine. Hopefully i can get lucky or get creative.
