Engine Swaps and Modifications:
* LS Engine Swap: The Firebird platform is popular for engine swaps, and many people swap in newer, more powerful LS engines, such as the LS1, LS2, LS3, or LS7.
* Other Engine Upgrades: The Firebird's engine bay is fairly spacious, making it possible to fit other engines as well. Many owners install superchargers, turbochargers, or other modifications to boost power.
Important Notes:
* Fitments: The engine options listed above are for the original factory-installed engines. You'll need to research and confirm the specific engine fitment based on your Firebird's trim level and year of manufacture.
* Engine Swap Considerations: When swapping engines, you'll need to consider compatibility issues such as wiring, engine mounts, and transmission compatibility. It's best to research and consult with a knowledgeable mechanic before attempting any major modifications.
