Default need some help on swap

I know this is not the right forum but no one on the v6 or 3rd gen can answer this question. I have a 93 v6 firebird and a 89 camaro IROC (crashed) I want to put the 350 from the camaro into the firebird. My question is am I going to need to buy the crossmember (engine cradle) from a 4th gen V8 so I can fit the 350 or is there another way to do this swap. Thats the only thing holding me back, everything on the camaro works fine transmission engine and the wiring is intact. Any help would be greatly appriciated

An LT1 crossmember would allow the engine to bolt up.. but the TPI intake and distributor will cause clearance issues that probably are not worth it.

I already bought a big block hood from ASCD so there should be enough room for the TPI assm, the distribuitor shouldn't be a problem since alot of people say that it fits. All I needed to know is which k-member I needed and you have answer my question I might go ahead and buy a tubular k-member from BMR,thanks for the help.
