I have a 96 Camaro 3800 that the engine has locked up in. I have read in a lot of different places that a 3800 from a front wheel drive car will work, but I have a friend that has a 97 Camaro that bought an 05 engine from a Regal. He told me that he had the engines side by side & on the regal engine there was no place to bolt the Camaro power steering pump. He ended up rebuilding his engine, he said if I can use it I can buy it cheap. Anybody ever had this problem before?

I just went & looked at the engine. He is right, on the 05 engine that he has there is an air conditioner bracket that bolts to the block in the same place that the Camaro ps pump bolts. It will not work, the casting of the block is different.
