V8 FIERO project

1988 Pontiac Fiero with a 4.6L Cadillac Northstar V8 swap

project

  • 1988 Pontiac Fiero that has the engine, transmission and electronics from a 1996 Cadillac Seville swapped over. Everything is made to look stock like it came from the factory.
  • The original 2.5L 4 cylinder in the Fiero came with 92 horsepower. The 4.6L V8 now installed has 300 horsepower. It also includes the 4T80E 4-speed automatic transmission.
  • All aluminum V8 doesn't weigh significantly more than the cast iron 4-cylinder it came with. Total weight is 2600 lbs.
  • Front hubs drilled to 5x115 pattern to match rear. Rear axles are from the Cadillac. Brakes are upgraded parts from a C4 Corvette.
  • The Fiero is a mid-engine car with the engine seated behind the driver. The drivetrain layout is transverse and able to fit many FWD GM engines and transaxles.
  • New for 2022 - freshly rebuilt 4.6L engine (including time serts)
