The Syclone/Typhoon engines were the Chevrolet based 4.3 liter and should NEVER be confused with the Buick based 3.8 and 4.1 liter engines.
Back to the question at hand, yes, the Eaton SC from the 3800 can be bolted to the F-body (Camaro/Firebird) 3.8 liter from 98 to 02. in fact, an FWD 3.8 liter can be bolted directly to the RWD F-body trans (same bell housing mounting), as the 3.8 liter in the F-body is a FWD derivative (engine mount and accessory drive are the difference). The down side is the throttle body and associated intake plumbing would be really close to going thru the firewall into the cab.
I agree that the SBC combination is old-hat.
