Fiero = little bitty space
W-body = more space
I know guys that do engine/tranny swaps out of the top of their 1st and 2nd gen w's between lunch and dinner. These guys have had practice, so they know exactly what needs to be done, etc - however there is no reason that the trans couldn't be swapped on a Saturday if he wanted to go that route.
