Default engine swap?

I don't know much on this subject, but is it possible to switch a front wheel drive engine into a rear wheel car? Specifically I have a 2000 pontiac bonneville(i posted about this earlier) with a 3800 series II engine and im looking at a 1995 camaro with a 3.4 l v6, and i was wondering if its even possible to put the bonnevilles engine in the camaro, because other camaros of the year have the saem engine, but of course the rar/front wheel, I know the engines don't face the same way. Also would their transmissions be compatible?

with enough money you can do anything. the 4th gen camaro is built motor specific. trans, rearend, computer, wiring, suspension, etc are different for each motor. the fwd motor will fit but the block and heads are pretty much what you will use, will need many parts from a 3800 camaro to make it fit and work correctly.
