I think it should be a very good swap, I have a 97 Firebird Cnvt with the 3800 T-5 combo and it is fun to drive, and returns 28-29 MPG on the highway. Just be sure to grab the entire wiring harness and sensors along with the computor to make the swap easier. It should be even more fun in a car that weighs almost 1000lbs less than a F-body. Keep us informed on how the conversion is going.
