I bought this 99 firebird 3 Years ago it already had been an accident before I bought. Got it home $3k later got it running a driving. Body is tweaked something fierce but it drives straight as a whistle. The driver side tail light doesn't sit right. The whole trunk area doesn't line up anywhere both rear fenders are creased. I want to Ls 5.3 swap it. What would it require to make it straight again?
With the price of these cars- you may be better off picking up a roller or even a complete v8 car. It's probably cheaper in the long run and if you ever go to sell it, you don't have the issues of a swap or a bent frame.

How much did you spend on buying it? I don't want this to come off sounding bad but it just seems like a lot of wasted money to be honest at this point and a lot more wasted money getting it straight. A simple craigslist search pulled up a lot of clean 98-02 f-bodies for less than what you've already invested into this one and the cost to do the body would take your investment well over what you could have paid for a stock z28.
As N20 said, a frame machine and a chunk of change. I'd look for a frame shop and get an estimate.
