| Swapping the engine into a Fiero is the most common. There is a lot of info out on how to do it. L67swap.com recently changed to this:

| im sure its been done into a datsun, but yes, the fiero swap is common, but to find a nice 88 GT is at least $3000 (in most cases) from what ive seen. | |

| You'll need the transmission from a 3800 Camero, and you'll have to fab up some type of TB adaptop so that your TP dosen't stick through the firewall.
