Hi,
What cars share the same 2.8L V6 and Automatic Transmission as the Fiero?
I'm called some junkyards to see if they had any engines or trans that will fit into a Fiero GT, and they said they had no FIero parts. There must be some cars out there that you can take the engine and trans out of and directly put them in a Fiero, almost as is, isn't there? What cars and what years? Thanks! |

They told me the exact samething yesterday! Good question.
Edited for this addition:
All the 2.5 L4 (Iron Duke, Tech 4) engines used in GM cars are the same (and all are made by Pontiac) except for running changes made to the engine.
They have been used starting in 1977 in Astras, Sunbirds, Monza, Skyhawk and Skylarks. Since then they have been used in almost every GM FWD along with Camaros, Firebirds, S-10 trucks and Blazers and even Jeep Cherokees.
1977 88 horsepower 2 bbl carb 8.0:1 comp. ratio
1978 88 hp 2 bbl carb 8.0:1
1979-81 90 hp 2 bbl carb 8.2:1
1982-83 90 hp TBI 8.2
1983-87 92 hp TBI 9.0:1
1988 98 hp TBI 9.0:1
Early 2.5s did not have a "crossflow" head. They were added in 1980.
In 1984 a new head was used that included "Swirl-Port" chambers and increased compression ratios from 8.2:1 to 9.0:1
In 1985 roller valve lifters, a new crankshaft and better bearings were added.
1987 a serpentine belt system and crank-triggered ignition (DIS) was added.
1988 a balance shaft system was added to smooth out the engine. New pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft were added along with the in-the-pan oil pump and filter. Results, 6 horsepower.
