Would a 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.0L LS be able to be put into a Fiero in the same or a similar way? Knowing me I would have to either brace everything extensively or go away from what I generally like to do. Putting a 600HP-900HP Turbocharged LS in most of the engine swaps I like to do. Thanks

Yes you can but you have to notch the frame rails which isn’t too bad, honestly you can make 6-900hp out of the ls4 5.3 and you wouldn’t need to notch the rails sense it’s a fwd ls and bolts right up to gm fwd trans.
