You need gears, a posi and an install kit and someone who knows wtf he's doing.
You can get the gears and kit from anywhere, as long as they're for a GM 10 bolt.
SLP may or may not still sell their takeout posi for like $100. If not, it was a great deal while it lasted.
BTW, it's sort of funny, you have the same car as I do (except I have a firebird), you're making the same swap I did and are asking the same questions as I did at about the same age as I was.

In both of my firebirds I went from 2.73 to 3.42. I think its easier and cheaper to just swap out rearends. Also I bought both my speedo gears from ck performance. You just call and tell them what trans you have and the gear ratio and they figure it out and send it to you. I think its about $45 bucks shipped to your door.
