There are lots of potential engine swaps for a Fiero, but it is not like the old days when you just hooked up an engine to a drive shaft and gas pedal. Computer controls are now in place. Lots of wiring.

www.v8archie.com puts in V8s into Fieros and has been doing it for 18 years.

www.gmtuners.com does swaps with 3800 SC engines.

With most engine swappers, you'll want in addition to the engine, but better suspension, better brakes are also needed. If you have the skill sets, tools, a place to do the work and a deep pocket you can get it done in a few months.

http://www.fiero.nl is a Fiero website with lots of information on Fieros and swaps.
