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

4.5L V8 510hp,a few pounds heavier than the 2.8.

From Wiki:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Fiero
"Of the total production of the Pontiac Fiero of
370,168,[1]
135 (.036%) of them were reported to have had engine fires,
122 of these occurred while driving, according to the NHTSA."

For various reasons,owners would allow the oil level to drop,making the car disposable.
Some facts to counter rabid bs that costs nothing to produce,like what is heard on biased mainstream media.
Like the Corvair of the 50's,the propaganda affected sales,and compelled the decision to stop production.
Now today,to build a decent Fiero,you would have to do it the same way as a Fourteener.
Losing the iron block is a good first step,the ultimate gm V6 being the Shortstar.

Anyhow,planting an iron anything into a 914 is an act of economy,compromising performance.
Sure,it's possible,but there are so many newer engines of greater p/w ratios that the jump from aircooled
can be made with a minimal addition of lard.
A trade with the wreckers might get you a decent alloy engine of 150hp or so,in 4 or 6 pistons.
