Default Replacing my torque tube

yes as far as spline count and size(aka itll bolt in just fine) the difference is in the diameter of the actual shaft within the TT and the couplers/bolts inside. so the Z TT is beefier and more robust but the casing, bolt pattern, etc is the same and will bolt in just fine. did that swap 3 weeks ago myself. also, if your swapping the TT replacing the bushings is good measure. stock bushings are 10mm were as the Z06 ones are 12mm. that's your difference in sizing.

I bought all my drivetrain through here searching the parts FS threads. I felt better supporting a fellow enthusiast as well as I felt like I was getting a decent part considering it was coming from another corvette guy/gal and not some shade tree mechanic. plus the prices here are on point. I paid 500 for my TT shipped and that was a Z06 one. then another 110 for aluminum couplers(both sides) because I don't care about vibrations, this was a weekend warrior/race car for us
