Fiero engine conversion? Anyone done it Options

[surfdogskier]

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

Heavy iron lump,and in direct opposition to the 914 paradigm,light,low and economical.
I've considered the transverse 914 install,and found that there is indeed plenty of room.
At no time have I figured on a 2.8,the gm accountant's solution for the exotic mid chassis.
The Getrag 5/6 speed tx is a great design and is compact and relatively light.
So,an aluminum V6 mated with the right TX and you now have a decent powerplant,a description which cannot be applied to the 2.8.
All the info you might need is here:

The money you could spend to make a great 2.8 would be more effective applied to a later V6,and less prone to grenading.
The whole story of the iron duke and wimpy v6 is written,a tale of an engineering department saddened by a meek corporate board.
