it seems like our engine bay is rather smell but it could fit

Thats what I was thinking. It would definitely be a power boost for sure.

I can pick one out of a grand prix for under $200.

Where can I find the specs for our engine bay size?

I just think its unlikely you'll find engine bay dimensions.
Not a lot of people have swapped in other motors.

But I do think the 3.8 will fit, you'll just need to make/modify some engine mounts.
Figure out your trans. Will the 3.8 bolt to any trans in the g6? You may need to swap in another transmission which could create problems with axles or other mounts.

Looks like it has the 4t65

Yes, but did the S/C engine used the 4T65-E HD ? If no, them it means the S/C Grand Prix has the same transmission than my Malibu 3.9L, so it would be feasable without to much modifications. But I would say the Grand Prix uses the HD version, a little bigger I think. The problem I think is the space for the supercharger. Well, there is not much space under a G6's or a Malibu's hood for a 3.8L. It's a 90 degres block versus 60 degres for our stock engines.

Isnt the HD just the internals? Thats what i had thought anyway
