Hello Fiero fans!
I have two fieros both with V8s in them. My 400 small block Fiero and my current project... with a big block!
Well it runs now... but I can't run it too long cause it doesn't have a water pump on it yet! Even with the resized axles there is no room for the waterpump without cutting frame. I don't want to cut frame on this car so probably going to go with a remote water pump. Anyways.....anybody have any pics of a big block in a Fiero? Know anybody with one? I only know of one other person that did one (Gary Zumalt). But he's long gone I guess.

I have a short video of a 454 in a Fiero (just sitting inside - rather boring except for the tunnel ram sticking sky high) that I saw in Carlisle PA back in 1993. It had a Zumalt kit in it if memory serves me right. PM/email me directly if you want to see it and I'll try and rip a copy this weekend.

I have a xeroxed copy of a dual quad 454 Fiero from an old FOCOA mag.
I also have a Pontiac mag with a whole article about a Fiero (with pics) with a 455 Pontiac engine.

Ever see Pontiac 455 valve covers? Is that big block enough?

The yellow one with the offset scoop looks like the front engine SD4 car Pontiac built once upon a time.

Anyone have any more info on the Binford fiero. I have a fiero with a 3800 s1 engine that I wrecked the rear suspension on it and that seems like something fun to build and toy with. engine and trans info would be helpful. Thanks

Here's the topic I got the pic from... https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20030531-1-025210.html
Seems a couple of people have at least some knowledge of it. I hope that helps.

Hey Thanks for all the input.... but does anybody have a pic of a big block TRANSVERSLY installed in a fiero. Thats what I'm working on and I want to see how someone else may have done it. Is Gary Zumalt the ONLY one who has installed a big block chevy in a Fiero? Thanks all !

I've seen the olds (and caddy) BB fwd drivetrain used but with an adapterplate the options are almost endless (you just may need to replace transaxles on regular basis, depends on your right foot).
