Almost all cars built today are built on, what is called, a unibody chassis. This incorporates the frame and body into one unit. You could call it a shell. There are still some cars using the body on frame method of production. Almost all trucks are body on frame.

Can you swap out an 87' Camaro body for a 77' Camaro?
Short answer: No. If the cars were of the same generation, which they aren't, parts swapping would be a possibility. Camaros have always been unit body construction, which means there's no separate frame. They do have removable subframes for suspension mounting, but the body is part of the structure. While nothing is impossible, you can't just swap out the body.

What is an engine chassis?
The term chassis means the frame plus the "running gear" like engine, transmission, drive shaft, differential, and suspension. That's what we meant when describing older cars that actually had a full frame. Since a lot of new cars are now unibody construction, you could call the front portion of frame which connects to the rest of the body an "engine chassis". Or, if you will, a frame work which supports the engine.
