well this weekend when i was driving home i noticed my bottom end didnt feel right when i was driving, but considering that it was 2am and plenty of booze on my breath i decided to baby it home. i rolled up the driveway, popped the hood and my engine had a considerable fire going. uh oh. i was gonna let the mofo burn and collect insurance but their is too much sentimental value in that car. i had it looked at and the motor is cashed. f#ck it. i love the car so i got a question. i just so happen have enough cash to buy a new and comlete crate motor from gm. sooooooo. can i drop that new series 3 260hp motor in my 2000 gtp??? it would fit wouldnt it??? do i have to go buy a new computer too. whats the procedure for dumpin a series 3 motor in a series 2 motor car?? what else do i need for it? p.s. GO WHITE SOX

You are better off staying with the Series II.
You will probably have issues getting a SIII to bolt in, let alone having to get a new PCM and other parts.
Like has been said many many many times when someone wants to drop a different engine in there: It can be done, but it depends on what you want to spend to do it.
