    Nope just gotta swap out the engine mount as i believe the bonne has the mount that goes to the side of the body where as the grand prix has the hydraulic mount that sits on the cradle.

    And its pretty simple to remove as long as the motor is out. The mount and bracket come off...there are 4 bolts I think that go into it. You'll have to transfer the coil pack bracket I think too from the WBody motor to the HBody motor as they are different last I checked. There are also a few misc brackets in front you need to take off too IIRC.
