Show Me Your KITS!
they are heavy(cast block) and a FWD trans wont like it too much. the only hard part about this swap would be getting the gauges to work properly, i dont know if they use the same signal or not, hopefully a fiero darksider with chime in for that answer.

Nope. In relation to a stock Fiero, putting iron heads on an aluminum head motor is the darkside. Swapping in some aluminum while at the same time loosing some weight and gaining more power and a roller cam is all "light" as in eureka!

Yup, lighter+more power just makes more sense.. There will definately be a turbo in the future too! I used to have a turbo colt and that thing could haull a$$! I'm kinda sorry I sold it but I needed to to focus on the fiero..
Here's the link the my colt build: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/216031...itsubishi-colt
Well, the guy got back to me and said I could have a 99 or 03 engine.. Which one would make more sense to get??

1989 Camaro RS; Cammed 3500 swap, 45mm ITB's, Street/Strip Kitted 700R4, 3500 stall, Megashifter, 3.73 posi, EQ- LT headers, 2.25" True Duals, X pipe, etc...

That's what I figured 
4 years newer and the same cost! I just didn't know if there was any significant differences in the years.. I checked the family tree on this site and it seems like they are pretty much the same..

better flowing upper and lower intake IIRC, the 00 stamp on the lower intake is what would be more desirable, i recall ben saying something labout that to me. i could be wrong

Use 3400 DOHC pistons, flat top with valve reliefs. That's what I did.

I was thinking about doing that, but I figured it would be harder to find DOHC pistons than doing a bit of extra wiring.. Plus I don't have the time to do any internal work right now. It's good to know tho just in case I decide to go for the stock look later!

My vote would be to make the 3400 look stock.
