Very cool, what sort of gas mileage do you see on a typical journey?

The last long trip I took with this car, to Indianapolis and back. I averaged 40 mpg ( 3.78 L us gallon). Combined city hwy is usually around 30 mpg. My gas guage does not work so I am always figuring out mileage. I use my trip odometer to decide when to fill up.

Car sounds great! Using the tranny that came with the Ecotec I assume?

Yes it is the f23 that came with my first 2.2. From a 2004 cavalier. It still has the original clutch too. When I built up the newer engine, I ordered in a new clutch. When I compared it to the old clutch, I sent the new one back because the old one had no visible wear. At that point it had 80,000 KM on it. I like GM oem clutches.

I wish I had your motor. My car has a 3800 SC engine with some mods. It is fast, lots of torque, but I worry about blowing up the Getrag and it runs out of breath at around 5500 RPM. Your car sounds more like a traditional "sports car" and the tranny that came with it can put up with pretty much unlimited abuse. Plus the Ecotec has lots of aftermarket support to really bump up the power.
I think a 300-350 HP Ecotec would be an amazing engine swap for a Fiero. Fast, reliable, good on fuel, and fewer worries about blowing up axles or transmissions. I hope we meet one day and go for a spin!

Thanks for all the comments. When I decided to go ecotec what I really liked was the way they rev. I have mine set to rev to 7000 and pulls strong right to the rev limiter. I could push it a bit higher but around 7400 or so is above what is reccomended for the stock valve springs. I don't know what kind of power it puts out, it has never been on a dyno. For my purposes it is fast enough so I am not too worried about getting more power out of it. ------------------
