Anyone from central or eastern WI?

Hey guys, just wondering, I am getting ready to do a 305 to 350 swap in my 91' Firebird. Two questions, one, don't know what engine I am going with (350 from truck, 350 from goauto, or LO5 stock replacement) any suggestions on what to go with? Either way, I'll be using a TBI unit. Also, if anyone near where I am is interested in making a few extra dollars and is willing to help with the swap or has knowledge with one before please get a hold of me. I've never done one before and could probably use some guidance through the whole thing. Thanks to any help you guys can give.

I will be out in Green Bay next week if you need any help with anything. I used to have a 91 Bird and have a REAL soft spot for them. I will also be moving to Green Bay next July.

yeah, well, the swap my come later than I wanted it to. I may end up getting a job here that takes me from Appleton to DePere every day, SO I may end up having to geta daily driver and get the engine after the new car is paid off. When I say new, I mean new to me, not NEW new. Anyway, we''l see what happens, what ideas you got? If I end up getting a daily driver, I could go with a more radical engine since it wouldn't have to be drivne every day, hmmmmmm, this could be fun! Big block?
