What cars share the same engine block as a 1996 3800 series 2 camaro?

The 1996 Camaro's 3800 Series II engine (3.8L V6) wasn't unique to that car. The same basic engine block, albeit with potentially different heads, intake manifolds, and other components, was used in a wide variety of GM vehicles during that era. Pinpointing *exactly* which cars share the *identical* block is difficult without GM's internal part numbers, as slight variations are common even within the same engine family across model years and trims.

However, you can expect to find this engine family (with variations) in other GM cars from the mid-90s, such as:

* Pontiac Grand Prix: Many Grand Prix models from the mid-90s used variations of the 3800 Series II.

* Pontiac Bonneville: Similar to the Grand Prix.

* Buick Regal/Century/Park Avenue: Buick's also used this engine family extensively.

* Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme/Intrigue: Oldsmobile vehicles frequently used the 3800 engine.

Important Note: While the *block* might be similar or even the same casting, the specifics (heads, intake, etc.) will likely differ resulting in different horsepower and torque outputs. So, while they share a common ancestor, they are not completely identical engines.
