88 GTA swapped into 6000 possibility?

Hopefully I'm posting this in the right board, I was wondering if anyone has any idea on the ability to drop a 88 GTA engine into an 88 6000? Thanks!

Wasn't that one of those "other" GM brand things that's a Cavalier with different stickers?

If so, it'll make the rear of the car sit awful low, and the hatchback probably won't close on it, while you are using it to haul the motor to someplace so you can put it into a rear-wheel-drive car.

Actually, some of those were 4 wheel drive cars, including the 88's. Still transverse mounted though.

Sorry, it isn't the right Board. This Board is dedicated to the 3rd generation GM f-body platform.
