Question 1997 Camaro 3.8 v6 engine shot

We have a '97 Camaro with a 3.8 v6. The engine is shot and we have a freind with a '98 Olds 88 with a 3.8. Does anyone know if these engines are interchangeable? Thanks for any time donated to answer this question.

P.S. This is our 17 yo son's car and he is panicked b/c he will have no car when school starts.

It will work, you will need to strip the motor down to a long block and use all the bolton parts from the Camaro.

Engine shot? How so? How do you know? Not worth fixing?
