198?-1992= TPI
1993-1997= LT1/4
1998-2002= LS1,2,6,7.....ect...

You can't. You can swap the motor out with either an LT1 or LS1 (both 5.7L 350ci) depending on what year firebird your's is. I assume it's a 4th gen V6. You'd need complete harness, k member, PCM (computer) and a load of other stuff.

lsx swap it you will be much happier, and it will still pull 20 mpg, instead of a slug carbed 350

Just one thing you should know, a carb'd engine in a 97 isn't going to pass emissions if that's a concern where you live.
