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 |

Yes, that V6 engine as installed in a Fiero has been done and with an automatic transmission, the guy installed the motor and transmission from the Fiero into his 914. Located in San Jose last time I saw it, pretty blue car with white interior. Lots of cutting and he made a slick sub-frame to mount it all. It's really not a Fiero engine, it's a 60° V6 used in many GM applications, I've always liked that motor, a few books written on how to make them better. But like mentioned already, there are tons of better choices these days. Unless dirt poor and you can make all the parts needed to adapt it I see no reason to keep it. You can buy a low mileage Honda all aluminum 60° V6 for $300 that will run circles around the small Chevy V6. Heck even the more modern V6 used in the Cadillac or Camaro would be a decent choice. |
