Hey guys,
I got a 1988 V6 Fiero engine that I took out of a car. Got the PCM and most of parts. I currently got it for sale on craigslist but I was wondering if it would make a good conversion engine in my 72 914. The engine ran great when it was installed and had good power. Think it is 2.8L. Anyone ever did this engine swap? If so, what is involved? Thanks, Jason |

Because of the tight package in a Feiro GM had to design the engine to run one quart lower on oil that the same engine in their other products. With all the work it takes to do a conversion I would really use something with some real HP or at least do a turbo Grand National engine like Paul b.
