Auto Parts: 1994 3.4L Pontiac Firebird swap, blown head gasket, pontiac firebird


Question
I have a blown head gasket on a 3.4L engine with 151,000 miles which is costly to rebuild. I would like to know if a 2002 Pontiac Grand AM 3.4L is interchangeable with a 1994 Pontiac Firebird 3.4L car.

If not what engines are interchangeable with the 1994 Pontiac Firebird 3.4L. Are there other parts that would be required for such a swap?
