Uhmm... should be real easy. Your TA should have a 305 in it now, externally its the same as a 350. It'll bolt right in.

Check the carb board for info on carb tweaking. Not hard to do.

Every Firebird from 82 up is Chevy powered.

The Cehvy/Pontiac difference between engines died in the late 70's/early 80's I believe.
The third Gens all have the same engines whether they are pontiac or chevy
