1985 Pontiac Fiero V8

[Jordan White]

I built this model for the Cannonball Run build, so it has more power and fuel capacity over the basic car (along with a V8 swap of course).

Specs:

-Chevy 350 V8 with 4-bbl carb making around 300hp

-Stock 4-speed manual

-Uprated sway bars and shocks

-Extra 15 gallon fuel tank in place of rear storage space

-Nismo 17 wheels and high-performance tires

-Custom paint job of Ford Merlot Red metallic and gold accents

That came out really cool. I especially like the contrast of the saddle color interior.

Yeah I thought it would look good against the red.

Cool build. Turned out very nice.

A V8 Fiero: Something GM should have built! Very cool.

[slusher]

Very sharp and cool build. l have never seen a Fiero built. l like the v-8 that is a nice touch. Great color choices. Nice work Jordan.

[Jeff Johnston]

I'm digging that...I always wanted to see that in real live.

Hi,

A Fiero with some grunt - I like the idea! A well executed build - you should be pleased with your work!

Cheers,

Jim

Great looking build , I really like how you did the exhaust !

[Jordan White]

Thanks guys!

The exhaust was easy for the most part, since it was kit parts (namely the muffler/tips, and the pipe going to the forward manifold). The toughest part was creating the pipe section between the rear manifold and the muffler.

Very nice!

Nice! You don't see many Fiero's in model form. Great colors, and the V-8 swap looks good!

^Agree, not a whole lot of Fieros on the board...but I have 3 Fiero kits so far (notchback 2M4, notchback GT like this one, and a fastback GT) and I plan on building at least one. This one is awesome with a V8 stuffed in the bay! Very nice work sir!

[hacked]

''very neat'' xtra fuel tanks a smart idea.

[Jordan White]

Here's some pics of how the engine and trans fit in the subframe (before it was wired).

Very cool model. I always thought the Fiero was a neat little car that didn't get enough marketing love from Pontiac. They were screamers with the 6 cyl, would be awesome with a V8.

[cahilj]

Nice build! I should try and finish up at least one of the 3 Fieros I've started

[kilrathy10]

Very impressive work....Very impressive...

supposedly theres a real life 1:1 scale northstar caddy v8 conversion down here all computer programmed that had no problem outrunning a brand new dodge viper out on the i10 interstate here in mississippi

Nice.

GM brought a couple of V8 Fieros to Pikes Peak for testing. They were a handful.

Imagine strapping a set of casters on a little rocket engine and duct-taping a lawn chair in front. V8 Fiero.
