3800 SCs are likely more common, thats what my brother did with his car. I know there are fast Fieros out there, but I wasn't impressed with the 3800SC in my brother's. Thing with a typical V8 is you'd need to make it bolt up tranversely, the Northstar I believe was already a transverse motor. Otherwise you'd have it set up like a Pantera, which I doubt there is room for. I've heard of the Archie kit, but I don't know how it is set up in the car.
Supposedly they can handle the power with hardly anything done to them. Or so it is claimed. I find the claim a lil dubious. My brother shredded his clutch, it literally exploded and I had to tow him home. The other thing that they say is the handling is great just because it is mid engined....um....yeah.... then why does the MR2 we have out handle the Fiero by a mile? Oh yeah, it has an X body crapbox suspension on it. I've never driven an '88 Fiero but I've heard they're much improved.
