With V8 Fiero you must have a lot of patience, and not give up. Lots of tests, trials and errors. But when you're done, you know it's your car.

You'll get there, keep a-tuning! Scariest and funnest car I ever drove was a northstar fiero. Enjoy that balls to the walls beast man!

@charles81265 wel I like the northstar v8 a lot, but i posted that comment a long time ago, and im going with the 4.8l ls v8 instead

@homelesspimps What are you smoking, A northstar in a Camaro? You need to put an LS series motor in it!

@IAMNOTAHUMANINC These engines do not have problems with the head gaskets, they have a problem with the heads becoming unclamped due to head blot thread failure!

@IAMNOTAHUMANINC ok my bad i rechecked the weights..the LS1 is about 60 pounds lighter ready to run than the northstar..a fully dressed northstar is around 480 lbs..an ls1 with everything bolted on is about 420 lbs..but just the motor itself is about 360 vs the northstars over 400 lbs bare

[friesngravy]

@IAMNOTAHUMANINC why should it be lighter? pushrod engines are physically smaller and lighter than OHC motors..smaller displacement doesn't equate to a "smaller" motor..a fully dressed LS1 is almost 100 pounds lighter than a fully dressed northstar..look up the numbers if you don't believe me

[homelesspimps]

@friesngravy idk, the one that i found is $700 and its out of a 98 deville that was T-boned and now hes just parting it out and it has like 98000 miles on it i think

@homelesspimps u could probably find an ls1 cheaper than a northstar actually!

[homelesspimps]

@friesngravy ya thats for sure, i have a 98 v6 camaro, and i want to put a northstar v8 in it, ya i know u think i should get an ls1 one but i just dont have that kind of money and plus i really like the northstar

[friesngravy]

@homelesspimps oh it's for sure, almost double the power with a northstar over a 2.8, so he's not lying..he just didn't inform you that it's like almost 50% heavier instead of like 10% heavier like an LS1 would be..and the ls1 is cheaper power..northstar is still much better than the 2.8 though there's no doubt about that dude
