Not that i know of. Is it not the same?

Yep, just swap the LIM and UIM from a series 2 3800 from a camaro, a local is doing it, it all bolts right up

Why would you want to do that? A crazy turbo build or something?

Hmmm interesting, would there be any real benefit to using this manifold?

Thats what he said.... and it is ten times easier to route intercooler piping..... and keeps the throttle far from the heat from the turbo.......
It also looks 10 times better when you look at the engine bay, cause you don't have everything on the drivers side of the engine bay.....
And to the OP, I think the throttle cable may even be long enough to reach, cause there is alot of extra.....

Makes sense.

I would like to see some pics of this swap completed.

Well I talked with my shop and the manifold will not work. The L67 engine has the injectors going into the Head. Your L36 have the injectors going into the manifold. So if I had a Monte SS or an Impala, the Camaro intake would work.
The reason I was looking to do it was for a Turbo build that I'm working on.
Thanks, Joe

does the f-body manifold have the injector ports in them too? if so it might not be a bad thing to have them. you could always use them for some spray.

Then put on L36 heads and use it. To me the gains would be awesome not having any heatsoak from the exhaust and turbo on the intake charge. Well worth doing it.
