Will Ford gears work in Chevy?

I was talking to a buddy of mine and he said that Ford 3.73 gears and 7.5 ring gear would work in my camaro. I know that I can get GM 3.73 gears and 7.5 ring gear for my chevy. The theory makes since, but I just didnt know if they were cut different per ford and chevy. If someone could clear this up I would apprecaite it.

Thanks.

I highly doubt it. I'm sure the amt of bolts on ring gear are diff and diff, spacing. Also the length of the pinion gear i doubt is the same too.

Doh. Well I guess I will pass on a good deal to someone here then.

Came across these on Ebay. I do not know the seller, I just though this was a good deal.
