Parts from 4th Gen on thirdgens

Hi there!

Please help! I could buy a 96 Firebird 3,4 for about 1200US$.
Can I take the seats (front and back out of this car and put it into my thirdgen? Will the seats bolt right in??
Can I use the 3,4 engine and make it run for my baby?
Is this a good price?
And could somebody please write a Tech article of "To Do" Things for swapping a 3,4 from a 4thgen into our cars.
Thanks

From what I've read, yes, the seats will bolt right in. You could re-ask the seat question on the "Appearance" message forum... plenty of guys here have done it.

I take it this 96' has been wrecked or something? But yeah I bolted some 95' seats in my car along with a 94' 3.4L.
