Regular 88 Firebird with 350?

I own a 88' Firebird 350 with the 700r4. It isn't a formula but has the hood with the rise in it. I only thought they put these options on the formula.

If its a 350 TPI, the motor is original (8 in the VIN) and there was never any gfx on the car, its a Formula.

Chances are, you have a formula, that someone changed the rear hatch if you do NOT have the areo wing. A Formula can be identified by the RPO sheet with a W66...

Engines:
87-88
V6 & V8 LO3 - Firebird
LO3, LB9 & L98 - Formula & Trans AM.
LB9 & L98 GTA

btw, in 89+ I believe the T/A was only available with a TPI engine.
V6 & V8 LO3 - Firebird
LO3, LB9 & L98 - Formula
LB9 & L98 - Trans AM. & GTA

the GTA was std with the L98 but was optional with the LB9 (5.0)
