i heard with tools diys in your garage, it's sorta tough (depending on how well you know the car/engine), but at a shop they can do it in a few days to a week.

Well, the 3800 will bolt up to Fiero transmission, and the rest is all electrical adaption. You can have a wiring shop do the harness for you, and it'll work fine.
I think the best swap is the 3400TDC, because it's the best and latest developement of the 2.8 liter in the Fiero. It bolts right up to the stock Fiero transmission, or you can use the tranny out of the donor car. Don't forget, a guy in Chicago makes his living putting SBC's in these things  www.v8archie.com

Head on over to www.fierox.com. That is my friend Ryan Cheney and he did the whole swap himself with the help of a friend of his that put a 3800 Supercharged in a 91 Chevy Lumina (www.luminasupercharged.com) They have some great information on doing the swap and everything. See ya.

Just don't get into an accident, do you know what you have to go through to make that big engine fit, lots of time and plenty of $$$$$, Do you know what you have to remove, Good luck!!!

... Its only a 3.8liter V6.
Not that big of a deal... you can put V8s into Fieros... Again not that big of a deal.

One of those people who thinks his Maxima has a big engine
It's all pretty easy... Just new mounts and wiring. I'd say go smallblock or go home, LS1!

What size engine does a stock fiero have? See I don't know but that car looks to small to put a 3.8 in there, correct me if I'm wrong, but then again anything is possible when you have $$$$

I seen Fiero's with V-8. From what a guy told me the other day at the lube shop, it takes alot of time and $$$. Don't waist you time doing it unless you got a lot of time on your hands b/c you will be cursing and throwing shit along with the project.
