Yes, they do, with the exception of the Quad 4.

I'm not sure if the RWD 2.5/2.8/3800's use a FWD bolt pattern though. 
Even if they do, if you're trying to mate one to a GM transaxle, you're
going to have to move the starter to the other side, because that's where
one of the axles expects to live.
