I've used those black rubber boat trailer rollers in a few applications, especially good for making body mounts. They are a foot long, cost about 13 bucks, and you just slice off whatever thickness you need. This is a very resilient rubber compound. I think it would be the next thing short of a solid mount.

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while.
Updates;
It is LOUD, I need a muffler.
I drive it everyday, I get about 22 MPG in the city, about 28 on highway.
I was hoping for better, but that is what they are rated at, the H.O.s.
But it doesn't seem to matter how I drive it, warm, cold, hard, easy, I get about 22. I haven't checked it in a few months though. (no tripometer on the digi gauges, so not so easy to log  )
It is fun to drive, it has plenty of power when needed, it pulls hard all the way to redline. Did I mention it's loud.
It doesn't leak, knock on wood. GM said in the videos that they put in alot of time into it not leaking, good job GM.
I need videos yes. I also think I need to stiffin up the last rubber mount, the engine moves a little more than I would like.
It runs good.

I've actually added this to my consideration list, I was orignally thinking a larger v6 (3400 or 3900), but after some research I think a zippy high revving Fiero would be a blast. I would probably go with an EBL personally, instead of burning chips... on the fence whether I would attempt a turbo or not. Does it share the bellhousing bolt pattern with the other common Fiero engines? I relish the thought of a 6-speed.

The Quad has its own specific bellhousing bolt pattern. It had some problems from the factory because GM used a cheap head gasket, but once you fix that issue it's awesome. I was a diehard V-8 guy until my brother gave me a '92 Beretta GTZ and an HO Quad with a blown head gasket. After replacing the HG and freshening up the rest of the engine, it was my daily driver for four years.
It's such a great mix of power and fuel economy.

Interestingly a 60*V6 bellhousing will actually have 3 holes line up with the quad-4 bellhousing (the two dowel pin holes included). However this puts the trans on an angle (can't remember how much) so not really useful info for a transverse swap. I believe the ecotec engine also uses the same dowel pin locations.

Here are a couple of updates.
My last 2 fill-ups I got 25.6 MPG, (I havent checked it in months, untill now)
and I took my Fiero across a scale, and it came in at 2700 lbs.
