Engine Swap
Asked by Castillo2013 Jan 10, 2017 at 08:43 PM about the 1988 Pontiac Fiero Formula
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Ok, I am doing a engine swap. I have a 88
Pontiac Fiero and I want to install a corvette
LT1 engine using my fiero 5 speed manual
transmission. My question is this, if the
corvette was using a automatic
transmission would it still work with a
manual transmission or do I need to add or
move or do something to make it work??Or
it doesn't matter?? I have the master kit for
the swap.

Apparently it is possible to put a V8 into a FIero but using a transmission designed for about 1/3 the HP that you will soon have will end only one way, badly. As far as what other parts you will need you should contact the experts that sold you the kit.
Would still work, but make sure the manual's throw out bearing is properly adjusted or it can cause a premature failure of the thrust bearing on the crank

@Guru1XFSW, I know a mechanic that will do it for $100 using all new top of the line parts, I assume you won't mind the commute to his shop in Nome, Alaska since you didn't specify where you were from.
Hello Guru1xFsw. What flywheel and clutch did you use for your conversion. Thank you for any help.
