not a swap per se (only a 1994 for a 1993) - which had no noticeable changes..
But interesting to note we did the work with heads and exhaust manifolds on -- from above, not underneath.
Had to pull off the A/C, bracket and alternator, Power steering pump and bracket, starter. radiator and A/C radiator both completely removed.
need 2-3' 1/2 drive extensions to break loose the trans-to-engine bolts.
for install remove the drivers side engine-mount bracket and install it only after you line up and secure the engine to trans. Jack up engine/trans and then use a crow-bar to pry engine bracket into place on a new motor mount (already bolted to cross-member. Took 45 min to bolt in place and then another 4 hours to complete it. backyard with 10' rented cherry picker lift.
one thing of surprise for us was how standard engine hoists can't do the job because of that long nose and engine being tucked back in there.
car runs really great -- the v-6 really was a nice setup for the 1993 firebird f-body.
