simple answer, no.

advanced answer, sure it can fit, but you will have to change transmissions, the 3800 is a 90 degree v6, and has a completely different bellhousing bolt pattern than your original 2.8 60 degree v6 engine, and that's not even the hard part, you will have to custom build your own motor mounts, trans mounts, exhaust down pipe, you will need the computer from the 3800 motor, and build your own wiring harness. you will also need to have special half shafts built. so. if you really have to ask this question, don't do it. if you wanna swap the engine, go with a large port 3400. bolts right in, aside from one motor mount you will need go to www.v6z24.com, and talk to six_shooter, he makes them and can sell ya one. you will have to put the stock injectors from your 2.8 into the 3400, but will run perfectly fine. you need to change some coolant hoses, and moves the coil pack and icm wires around, but its pretty straight forward. again. go to v6z24.com AND SEARCH. you will find 100000000000000000 posts about it, and every answer you could possibly need. besides. the 3400 is way lighter, produces a lot more power and torque, and has a bigger aftermarket support than the 3800.. hope this helps.
