Uh, why a Fiero motor? Neither the Iron Duke four cylinder nor the V6 were particularly noteworthy motors. Let me guess, you already have a Fiero donor car? :rolleyes:

Most of the V8 swaps use a different transaxle (Olds Toronado) or flip the Corvair transaxle over to mid-mount the engine. None of these are particularly easy to do and require a LOT of fabrication.

Corvair..........

The Corvair engine is a GREAT canidate for hopping it up,ive owned 9 of them,and have a 1961 monza now. the amount of horse power you can pull out of this engine,is ONLY dependant on how deep your wallet is,swapping to a Turbo charged 180 HP engine is easy. and not too expensive.:)
