Which engine fits?

Hey guys new to the forums, have an 87 Firebird V6 (yea I know...)
Anyway, the engine is blown, and I plan to put another engine in it...

My question is, what engines can fit on the vehicle? Not looking to to a V8 swap or anything, just make it drivable. So are there any other engine options besides the factory v6 that came wih the car? Maybe a Buick engine? Any other GM v6 fit without much modification (fueling etc)?

Thanks in advance!

If it was me i would put a 350 in it but if you just want a cheap solution just find another v6 like the one you had in it put the supercharger on it and mod it some more just my

direct swap would be a v6 just like you have, anything else would require a more involved swap, like trans, wiring harness, etc.
