Yes, it is easy if you have a complete engine to swap. The only differences are the flywheel, starter, exhaust manifolds (really close to the same, can be made to work) and placement of the carb if we are talking about a second generation f body with a shaker scoop. The 301 is a short deck version of the traditional Pontiac V8, and as long as you are swapping the entire engine there are few issues to deal with.

Do the front springs and motor mounts need to be replaced when replacing a Pontiac 301 engine with a Pontiac 350 or 400 or 455 engine for a 1979 firebird espirit?
Yes, the 350,400,or 455 will out weigh the 301 by about 200lbs, so the front end will sag under the additional weight. Depending on the year of the motor you are swapping in you may be able to use the stock mounts. 1970-1979 Pontiac V8s had five bolt bosses per side and will bolt up to the 301 mounts. Pre '70 only had two bolts per side making a mount swap nessary.

too much, that engine was a POS from the factory, I know I own one. get a nice 350, 400, or 455 Pontiac if you want to go retro. Turbos work just fine on them and there a whole lot cheaper and more reliable than that 301
