I have been looking for someone who has done this! I have a supercharged 91 5.0 just waiting to be put into something and just I happen to have 3 fieros. Please post some technical info on how you pulled this swap off.

Sounds like it runs good! I'm sure it's a blast.
Are you going to clean up the wiring?

Good for you for stepping outside the box. Is it possible to reverse the FI system? It seems like you could make it breath a lot better if you could.

What clutch are you using?
Great job. I was really into Fords early on. (68 and 69 Mustang which both shared my 390) and 4 83-90 GT's.
I applaud your efforts with going F.I. I would have been comfortable just popping a carb on it like my 83 GT with H.O. 5.0 and Holley 600 (Only because I was "intimately familiar" with several aftermarket cams, heads and carbs. ) That motor ran so well with the 5 speed. Your's sounds like it runs the same way.
Just curious as to what clutch you used. I wish I was closer. I'd love to see it.
Keep us posted.

I'm not driving too fast, . . . I'm flying too low.

spec stage 3,,,, seems weak, well pedal effort does actuall clamping force i can tell until it runs good enough to open it all the way up

Hehehe.... right.
Now that you've gotten Fiero adapted to the 5.0 you should focus on a blown 347 stroker.
Good job, I really admire your effort, especially being your first swap.
