I don't know if you all have heard of putting a 4200 Vortec Engine in a Fiero. A 4200 Vortec engine is an Inline-six engine made by Chevy. It's in a Chevy Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainer, Oldsmobile Bravada. Chevy made them in 2002 to 2007. The engine makes 275 HP. Do you think this could fit in a Fiero?

The overall length of the engine would most likely be too long to get the engine/transmission in between the Suspension. You'll have to cut thru the frame rails for sure.

I would agree, the engine length would be a issue that would have to be dealth with.

That's kind of what I thought

yup...
i looked at that too... its about 10 inches too long unless you do some radical
fabricating... nice engine though

speaking of v6's id love to put the 3.5 v6 out of my new Altima in a fiero
its the same engine in the infinity G35. the 350Z and the Mulrano
a turbo kit is available to boost it up to 400 + with mild boost
hm...... lol

on the same note of GM Inline engines what about the I5 out of the canyon/colarado?

I had a Trailblazer, saw one of the engines out on a stand at the dealer. They are TALL, it's a DOHC. Front axle goes through the oil pan, diff is bolted to the side. That was done to save heighth. Thing must be close to the heighth of a smallblock with a tunnel ram. The I5 is essentially the same engine minus one cylinder.
