3.8 swap for 84 Camaro????

Found a 3.8 from a 99 Camaro on Ebay. Is this swap possible? And how much of a PITA are we talking about? It includes all accessories, tranny, exhaust, etc.

Thanks,
Brandon

Don't forget that the 3.8 mounts completely differently than a 4.3 2.8 3.1 or a 5.7

Just wandering what route I should take with my 4-cyl Camaro. Thought about purchasing an old 70's car (like an Impala/Caprice) with a good running 350, there's my engine. Then I seen this 3.8 on Ebay with EVERYTHING, including a complete exhaust, tranny. EVERYTHING!!! Or maybe a 350 TPI might be best!
