I have an 80 TA with 301 if you put a Chevy 350 in would everything line up and the shaker scoop fit properly on motor through hood?

No, a Chevy 350 will not directly bolt into your 1980 Pontiac Trans Am's engine bay without significant modifications. The Pontiac 301 and the Chevy 350 have different block dimensions, bellhousing patterns, and mounting points. The entire engine, transmission, and mounts would need to be changed.

Even if you managed to get the engine to fit, the shaker hood scoop is *highly unlikely* to line up properly. The shaker scoop is designed specifically for the Pontiac engine's intake manifold and air cleaner setup. A Chevy 350, even with a similar-looking intake, will likely be a different size and shape, causing interference with the hood and the scoop. You'd likely need custom fabrication to make the shaker work.

In short, while it's *possible* to swap a Chevy 350 into a Pontiac Firebird/Trans Am, it's a major undertaking requiring extensive custom work, including engine mounts, transmission, exhaust, and likely modifications to the hood and shaker system.
