You can swap a complete olds motor/tranny into a chev though. Olds has different wiring requirements. Starter is on the opposite side.

LOL...the 6.2 that came in our trucks was NOT based on the Olds engine. The Olds 350 diesel was very loosely based on the Olds gas engine, and that diesel was NEVER installed into a Chevy or GM truck. The Olds will not bolt in place of where a 6.2 was installed. The 6.2 has the exact same bellhousing pattern and the motor mount locations as the SBC and BBC.
