Yes, you can! Don't forget the injectors, TB, belt, alternator?, PCM, etc. There's a write up somewhere around the forum which explains what you need to swap. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Not the block, but you will need the heads on up like already mentioned. Do a search on "top swap".

The PCM won't work, you need a custom tuned one for your transmission (the gearing is 3.29, and the Riviera gearing is 2.93)
