Re: I NEED HELP with engine selection for my fiero swap.
Actually, there's quite a bit of aftermarket support for the 2.8. Mallory manufactures performance distributors, Sanders makes small tube headers. There are several cam options, I think comp cams even makes a roller setup, I know GM performance parts does. If you want to go with no electronics, Edelbrock has a 2 piece 4bbl intake manifold system that fits all iron head 2.8's. Holley has a 390cfm carb that's perfect. Fageol Superchargers has a supercharger kit complete with intake and drive system that costs far less then a Weiand 241 would for a SB 8. New on the street - I haven't seen it yet, but a friend just told me about it, is a six pack carb setup that bolts onto the lower intake manifold of a 3100/3400 sfi. Just add a distributor and go. Anyway, that's why I'm building a six... There's all kinds of stuff out there. Desktop Dyno is showing a proposed 250hp @ 5500 rpm for my setup without NO2 or even a supercharger. (you can bet I'm planning on it though) 
I've heard cooling with sb 8's is a problem. You can't get the heat to the radiator fast enough. Doesn't help when the radiator is several feet away.
