Hey all, I'm new here, so bear with me. I just bought a 2000 Grand Prix with the K code 3.8. It's got a broken con rod, so I'm obviously replacing the engine. I may be able to acquire a 1997 Bonneville with a K code 3.8 as well for a donor. My questions are these-has anyone here removed the engine from the top(opposite the recommended per Alldata's info) on a 2000? Also, is there major parts swapping to use the motor from the 97, if at all possible? These are both Canadian cars. Thanks.

welcome

Thanks, man.

out the top is easy if you take the trans out with it. and the engine will need a motor mount swapped but other than that its smooth sailing

Coil bracket and alternator brackets are different

I have done both through the top and bottom . A lot less fighting to just take it out of the top with the tranny . I just like to detail things when I do it . It's a personal preference really

My preference would be to leave the tranny in the 2000, if possible. Is there enough room to get the motor out? I should mention I do have access to a vehicle hoist.

Thanks, although it doesn't really address any specific vehicle. I know that the manual asks to remove engine and trans together by dropping the subframe and motor/trans together.

Its the same idea for all cars with this engine/transmission setup. The write up tells you how to pull just the engine, or a couple posts later there is additional info on pulling them both as a unit. Much easier from the top for just the engine.
