No blocks are way different sorry. 😢 They did put a 3.8 in some 90s camaros with a 4L60E that would fit but no supercharged.

There is no motor mount lugs on the transverse engine And the oil filter adapter would be in the way. to fit in a RWD body.
There are no mounting holes in the ft of the heads for the accessories to mount. The starter is on the wrong side also

You will probably be happier with the 350 any way.

W bodies are ft wheel drive,Holden's being rear wheel drive, are sold in Australia that could be a bit of a problem :shock:

Get a 3800/4l60e out of a '93-'02 F-body. Problem solved.

There was a fellow on here a while back that had one in an '86 Cutlass.
