someone started a thread about it a few weeks ago. not sure its worth it, the weight distribution would be horrible, and i doubt youd have the space for a fwd v8 in there. lets not even get into the torque steer issues youd have.

thats very true, thanks for the input. Engine is terrible in that car, a dumb little 2.7 V6. Maybe a engine/trans swap from a GTP would be more suited?

There's a ~99 Civic with a supercharged 3800 L67 swap in it.

There have been 2 vendors that I know of put LS4/65E into Fieros. One was a kit car and the other is an 86 GT. I am installing an LS4/65E into an 88 Fiero GT slowly and there are a few others out there working on the install also. Also there is a guy that put one in a 01 or so Monte Carlo but hasnt finished the install yet 100%.
