Quoted for truth:

The 3.8L v6 motor is the engine to have on a V6 Camaro/Monte Carlo. The 3.4 engines are a major pain. I can say as such since it was my first car that had one(a 96 Monte Z-34 with a transverse mounted 3.4L from hell.)



So stay in the 98-02 Camaro range or 98-06ish Monte Carlo range. Look for the 3.8L 3800 Series II or III engines. Very reliable if taken care of regularly.
