1999 3.4L V6 pontiac grand am? and ik this might be a dumb question, but ik firebirds are rear wheel drive and grand ams r front wheel drive. would that be a issue as well?
 
This would be a major undertaking. In the end you'd end up with a '99 Grand Am.

The 3.4 V6 is a 60 degree bank. The 5.7 L is a 90 degree bank. The transaxle of the V6 won't handle the torque of the V8 engine.

You can do anything given enough time and money but this not easy because of the space.

If you REALLY want a V8 in front drive car, why don't you buy a used Cadillac or Olds Aurora? It would be much cheaper, and would actually work.
