Does anybody know about engine conversions in the Fiero's. I heard you can put a 3.8 supercharged in one and they are pretty quick.

They are american made hunks of junk. They are cool looking for the age but they have major electrical issues bad.

They do not have electrical issues. The first year or two did and most of the other FIRE problems is due the the rear deck lid when opened dumps snow water ect onto the exhaust which makes it crack and then it blows exhaust onto the wiring etc..

LOL some of them are peices

My friend has one as well. For those cars you either love them or absolutely can't stand them (like me!). However, there are kits to drop in a 5.7L smallblock. However, why not just buy a IROC Camaro and get real performance with a backseat and a real trunk???? My big beef with Fiero's other than catching fire and never working etc is the fact that they are wayyyyy unpractical, 2 seats and a sad sad excuse for a trunk with a dinky spare tire in it. People have said yeah but theyre good looking for cruising, in that case I'd buy a Vette and be unpractical with performance.

The only conversions I've seen were back in the early 90's at the Pontiac dealer i worked for when they'd get converted from a running piece o crap to a singed/crispy piece o crap!!!

I have seen the NothStar conversions finished. No idea how or what all is involved.

I will say by time they got to the '88 with the V6, they were not half bad.

Ahh I see. I'm a 16 year old highschool student and I drive an old chevy pickup for hauling my bands gear around, so fiero's aren't practical in my boots. I see it from your perspective however. like I said it is possible to get a motor mount kit for dropping a 350 smallblock right into a fiero engine compartment. The problem is that the stock frame is often not strong enough to take the torque from the smallblock, you could probably box the frame and add some crossmembers to change that though.

Really beginning to kick myself in the ass for this. Seems nobody likes them at all and half the purpose is to have a cool looking car. Looks like I am beat

I did say..."not half bad"

I've worked on them when they were fairly new...I can't imagine 15 years later they've gotten any better. They aren't trikes for goodness sake...
