currently the fiero has a cult following of owners and customizers. while all fiero models are considered to be collectible, the 1988 model year is particularly sought after by collectors due to its limited production numbers and vastly improved underpinnings. because of an abundance of replacement parts available from other general motors vehicles, there are many upgrades that can be done to improve performance and reliability of the cars. additionally, a multitude of different general motors engines have been installed by enthusiasts, from the quad-4 engine to the chevrolet small-block v8 to the cadillac 4.9 l and northstar v8s. the gm 3800 supercharged is also a very popular choice, as well as the 3.4 l found in the 1993, 1994, and 1995 camaro/firebird. one shop in particular that pioneered and now specializes in v8 installations has even gone so far as to install the famed z06 corvette powerplant, the 505 horsepower ls7, into a fiero. installation of the 4.9 l v8 or smaller engines is possible with few modifications to the car itself, because fiero prototypes were tested with a similar small aluminum v8 prior to production. as a result, the engine bay is large enough to accommodate engines of that size.
