2.8 liter v6 to 3.8 swap

Hello forum, i'm a new member. I have recently purchased an 88 camaro base model with the 2.8 ltr. in it. it blew from a bad main bearing i believe. I also got a buick 3.8 in trade for misc. stuff. I am wondering what all is needed to swap in this 3.8 into the car. Electrics, mounts etc. any and all help will be much appreciated. not interested in a v8 swap only info on how to do the v6 swap. Thank you any and all who reply

it took me a second to figure out too. on the left of the screen when you got to the message boards it should say in a rectangular red white blue box "new thread" simply click and post

You'll probably have more luck with this thread on the V6 Board. Someone might even move it there for you...

EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw your thread in the V6 Board.
