I do not see why you could not put the GTP engine in the camaro. The engine in the 3.8l camaro is the same engine, less the supercharger. Best was to find out is to pull the engine out of the camaro and the engine out of the GTP and set them side by side to see if the trans bolt wholes are the same on the back of the block.
It would be sweet if it works. I have a GTP and with the right set up, those engines can be quick.

yeah i got a wrecked one, i want to pick up a mid 90's 6 banger w/ no engine or a blown one..with a 5 speed
i think it would be pretty quick...i read somewhere they have 240 hp 280 ft. lbs of torque

As for the bellhousing bolt pattern, most GM fwd applications use the same pattern. The fwd 3.8 shares this common pattern. I know it will bolt up to a 2.8l 5 speed from an S10 for example. If the F-body application doesn't use the same pattern, I would be surprised...
i registered and am waiting for them to ok it....im thinking about just buying another gtp with a blown motor and just swap motors....there is one on there for 500 bucks with a toasted motor
