 According to Jim Suva, the owner of a 1977 Rockford clone who researched the Firebirds used on the show, the production used Formulas after the first season but modified them to look like the original Esprit. He has a blog about Rockford Firebirds that you can see here:

Here is an blog post/article from "Pete Dunton's Old Car Memories" about his Rockford clone and the Firebirds used on the show:

 Anybody know the engines used on the 77 and later Firebirds. One of these was for sale a few years back. I called on it and owner said it had a 350 Chevy engine. I know a lot of Olds engines showed up in 77-79 California Pontiacs. Doubt if 403s were available in these non TA cars but I think 350 Olds was.

 Seems as if this entry - like the other post-first season Rockford cars - should be listed as "Firebird Formula as Esprit."
