Default 4.8/5.3 in a 91 Firebird

I just picked up a 1991 Firebird real cheap. But a couple of owners ago they put a 350 carb engine in it. And I want to get a 4.8 or a 5.3 out of a wrecked chevy truck. I wanted to know if there would be any clearence issues with the oil pan, or any other clearence issues of any kind? I was also going to try to put the two wheel drive transmission in it out of a newer chevy truck. I didnt even know if this swap was even possible. ANY ADVICE??

Hawks third gen parts is a good parts source for the swap. And you should try thirdgen.org for more swap info.

Yea it has been several times IIRC you will have to change:Intale,oilpan,front assc to a ls1 setup and a tranny from a 2wd truck should work.
