Re: Need transmission help for v-8
The best manual transmissions I know of that are made for a transverse mounted engine are the ones that came in Fieros stock. I don't see why a properly built getrag 5 speed wouldn't take a 500 horse kick in the nuts and not be able to handle it.
A Porsche tranny would be a great idea, but don't they mount the engines with the crank perpendicular to the wheels? There really isn't room to mount an engine that way in a Fiero unless you cut the trunk out and fabricate a TON of stuff.

Wanted to buy:
86-88 Fiero GT, 5 speed, fixer-upper. Blown motor, no motor? No problem! Rusty unibodies need not apply.
74-79 Ramcharger or 100, slant or no motor - not interested in v8 - Overdrive 4 is a big plus, NO hopeless rust buckets!!! 
3Rd gen F body floor pans/camaro door skin (L)
 Why is it I see so many "Proud to be an American" bumper stickers on the backs of cars made in Japan or Korea??????
