Gas tank swap?

I am putting a 5.7 00' Z28 engine swap into my 87' firebird 2.8 V6, just wondering if that gas tanks are interchangable.

Not a direct fit, but they will work. A search will yield a more definitive answer.

its easier just to swap the tank out and use the LS tank as its lighter and has baffles in it unlike the older ones. plus removal of a LS tank withe the rubber neck is so much easier to do then the metal neck that a PITA. Just my 2 cents tho
