Anything IS possible with $$. You could even put the Lexus V12 (you know, that Japan only motor thats in the limos or whatever) in it, and quad turbo + supercharge it.

That's how to do it! LOL

Ya know, since I'm pulling the Lex apart, I've been thinking of getting the fiero to top shape so I can drive it daily. All I've gotta do is install a oil pump. That's not too hard on a 350. Well if that 350 is in a chevelle. Try switching an oilpump on a 350 in a Fiero. Out comes the entire engine cradle. :/

Is a supercharged 5.8 litre Bronco not zippy enough for a daily driver?

Well it does weigh 6600lbs. I want something that does a little better than 10mpg, I drive at least 60miles a day not including lunch or after work. :/

And with gas $1.72 a gallon....yuck.

Wiz, less weight, better mileage, easy to work on, fun commuter vehicle, sounds like it's time for a ZX-9R.
