About damn time someone with a fiero got on this post!!!! Beatiful project bro!! Im nearly 7' tall so I cant fit in one. If I could, then I definitely would do a project Fiero myself!!

the hottest mod is a chop top... lowering the roof by about 3".
no reason they cant create a pop top for the verticaly enhanced ppl :)

my friend and i were going to do a l67 fiero, but i ended up putting it in my car.


still on the prowl for another l67 though. keep us updated on the 4.3t

the biggest problems with v8s in my mind is
too heavy (unless northstar or the new z06)
too much bottom end torque - mg2 transmissions can only take so much...
the owner/drivers *makes tim allen monkey noises arrrrr ohg ogh i have a v8

simply put... too much torque and too much weight
Im willing to bet (and have actually done it) a properly set up 300 hp
2800 lb fiero will kick ass on a road course or a drag strip using a multi valve
modern v6 say 3.5 liters or an old school push rod like mine.
i have driven v8 fieros and they have way too much weight in the back
forget any kind of launch in the wet, or around corners or or or..
now take a v6 that makes its power in the 5000 to 6000 range or
with a turbo and everything changes...

there is a replacement for displacement... its called technology
sorry to rain on your parade.

lol sounds like your in the same mood as me right now...fucking cars piss me off/ rant

Well I have the distinct feeling that an old iron V8 has it's place and has a mean dollar/hp value, but a V6 does a much better job of moving a Fiero due to weight and powerband differences, with the exception of the Northstar and possibly Gen III V8s.
