Yes, many have swapped them into Grand Prix's and Lemans' of the same year. You will need the motor mounts for the Pontiac V8, and the transmission must match the Pontiac bellhousing (it is not the same as the Chevy pattern). Other minor issues may creep up such as throttle linkage, wiring (starter is on the opposite side), exhaust (I believe the Pontiac manifolds will clear the frame), but the are not insurmountable.

It has a longer flat section that fits better under the long ElCamino doors. Both frames are 117.5 wheel base and are boxed in the front (great for big block) with more up to date components and parts are cheap.
