hey guys, im looking at a 98 grand prix with the 3800 engine. motor is blown but i have a 2000 bonneville that is wrecked with a good 3800 motor.would there be any problems swappping the 3800 from the bonneville into the grand prix? looking to start this project pretty soon soon so any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated
 


Nope just gotta swap out the engine mount as i believe the bonne has the mount that goes to the side of the body where as the grand prix has the hydraulic mount that sits on the cradle.
 
And its pretty simple to remove as long as the motor is out. The mount and bracket come off...there are 4 bolts I think that go into it. You'll have to transfer the coil pack bracket I think too from the WBody motor to the HBody motor as they are different last I checked. There are also a few misc brackets in front you need to take off too IIRC.
