Fiero I think that it would be a good idea to put an ls1 in a fiero. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

Re: Fiero I'm trying it with mine. So far, block seems to be longer than your regualer SBC. Might go with aluminum SBC instead. No clearance for accessories.

Re: Fiero If the LS1 doesn't fit, why not the NorthStar?! They drop the entie motor/tansaxle in them. Considering the biggest piece of **** in the Fiero conversion is the weak-*** trans. The NS has 300 from the get-go, and they actually have a lot of mods for them. There is a company that all they do is NS motors...anyone here think of the nam and website?!?!

Re: Fiero Something i just thought of....You might try using a TH-325 or TH-425 transaxle from a Olds Toronado or older Eldorado, the engine mounts longitudinally (front to back) with the transmission to the side via i believe a chain drive. Its an automatic transaxle and for a traditional small block it requires an oil pan for swapping a small block into a 4wd S-truck. Plus they had Olds 455s and Cadillac 472/500s bolted to them, so they can take torque. Good luck on that project.
