The 3800 engine swap is doable. Most use a 3800/3800SC from front wheel drive Pontiacs or Buicks. The tranverse engine from the Buicks and Pontiacs is more simple as the 2.8 Fiero engine is also a front wheel drive styled engine, so engine and transmission mount fairly simpley. I know that the earlier 3.4 Camaro/Firebird engines are a direct replacement for the Fiero 2.8 with only minimum modification. But if you have time and money, almost any engine configuration can be accomplished.
