Ages ago, I had picked up a junkyard 3.8L V6 for 200-250 bucks. It was complete including coil packs, spark plug wires etc.
I got it from one of the f body salvage yards from down south.... maybe the carolina's or florida.
You might want to try that.

Did the same thing when I poped my 1st motor on the spray. got a complete 3.8 from coil packs to alternator with 13,000 miles on it for 500.00.. The place I got it from was M&M auto parts in Fredricksburg VA.. Also there is a 2000 Firebird at a Junk yard in Williamstown NJ off rt 42 called shorties. I went and looked at it.. The motor looks good. the car just got wrecked..
