I am assuming you have a manual trans car. You will need to remove the transmission and have the mainshaft changed to a 06-07 Z06 30 spline shaft. Then the transmission tailhousing will need to be swapped out to a 06-07 base (Non-Z06) tailhousing. The differential will bolt up at that point but you will still need to address the differential cooling system or remove it completly. Feel free to give us a call to go further into those options. 1-800-406-1109

It started off as just a motor swap but he got a good deal on the diff and trans so I ended up doing that too.

Oddly enough, a Z06 differential will only bolt up to either a Z06 transmission or an A6 but not a regular M6.

I assume you're talking about putting a C6 Z06 differential into a 2008. If that's the case then yes in an automatic car and no if it's a manual unless you change some of the transmission internals as mentioned earlier in the thread.
