The goal is to get a V8 in the Fino as cheap as possible. All
tuning will be done later as another project. Therefore, it
will probably not be fuel injected... yet. It may even be a 305 block,
but it will probably be a 350 from ebay.
The kit to install a V8 in a Fiero will be from V8 Archie.

It ended up being a 350 from ebay for $300.
It's from a 1977 Blazer, auto, 4x4.

I would like an Oil Pressure Gauge. Could there be a T fitting
on the engine block so the computer sensor AND the pressure
gauge can both exist? Or should I use an electrical gauge?
Either way, Autometer
has them.

Here's the engine after being cleaned and put back together.
I chained the hoist to the wall so the legs could be lifted
and the stand would fit under it.

Now that i have a V6 (versus the 4cyl) possibly i wont choose to do the
V8, but if i do, i think i will need fuel injection. Good gas MPG with
the carburetor will be too difficult to achieve. One fuel injection
idea is the
"Accel Pro Ram 4 Barrel Port Fuel System SBC 350-420 cid 30 # inj Pro Ram 4V System"
$3095.

Another fuel injection idea is the
Holley Stealth Ram Multi-Point Fuel Injection System
$2290 from Jegs. However, this will not fit under the deck lid, so
there might be another choice...
