2.8L/3.1L AND 3.8L FWD same bellhousing pattern?

In regards to FWD non-8 cyl engines, its a rule of thumb Buick and Pontiac
have the same bolt patterns (match each other) and Chevy and Olds are the
same (match each other as well).

This is why a 3.8L, 3800 Gen I or Gen II fits so nicely into a Fiero -
Buick into Pontiac.

Hope that answers da question :)
