anyone know anything about fiero swaps???

Alright, I know it's not a G Body but I've found where I can get an 86 Fiero GT and a 69 Tornado with a running 455 in it and a good transmission, still runs and drives (do you see where I'm going here ) Can I get this to work, without costing insane amounts of money? I'm not a Fiero guy, but if I can do this cheap I bet it could be nuts fast. What do you guys think?

...how would it fit? haha

I know that people put the 3800 supercharged engines in them but I dont see any possible way a 455 would fit in their. They are almost to big for a gbody. Just buy the Toronado and give me the 455, I will find something good for it to go in. 😀 8)

well for that matter a corvette engine is a standard swap into a fiero. Do some research. I bet someone has put a standard smallblock into one

I've seen some small blocks in Fieros in Minnesota, in fact a GIRL, in Coon Rapids MN has a silver one with a pretty stout 383 in it. If someone can fit a small block in one, why couldn't you fit a big block??? I just don't personally know anyone who has. It just sounds like alot fun. Starting to sound like an upcomeing project

Go for it. Why not? ha

Id love to toy around with that. You could have lots of fun with a project like that.

It would be pricey to do because of width issues, and different engine positioning. However, someone once posted a set of pics ( that I have never been able to find again) of a caddy 500 in the hatch of a Yugo GV using the Eldorado drivetrain out back, with a turbo Chrysler 2.2 up front! They had to flare and widen the body substantially. I think it may have been a GRM challenge entry, but I am not sure. I would think both were automatic drivetrains ( the Caddy did not come manual) as the torque converters would allow for dissimilar power delivery and compensate for different shift intervals. It was posted for me on Nissan Forums in the Off Topic section where I was a big post wh*re, and was known for my love of the quirky and odd. It may have been in one of my posts on oddball swaps like the VTEC Mini, or my desire for a VTEC Yugo swap.

Damn, I have mad Google Skills! I found a pic, but can't post the actual site. Here's the pics though.

Dare I say that this is a Yugo that I would actually WANT to drive?
