That's cool; what might have been- aarrrgg!!

In the Fiero community, the big deal is engine swaps. Supercharged 3800's (L67) are very popular and make for a pretty quick little car. I myself was toying with a Buick 3.8 GN set up. To my knowledge, no one has tried a longitudinal Pontiac V8 swap yet!
