what year firebird do you have? you can put almost any motor in to any car... i dont know about the CPU's or wiring harnesses
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.

Its a 97 I know almost what's needed for lt1/4 swap but the guy told me I could go
Carb or injection if fuel inject I would have to do a complete harness/computer change if I go carb I don't have to change harness or cumputer he saids the motor came out of a truck

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.
