A 348 is positioned north and south, a 328 is positioned east and west like a Fiero. In order to use a 348 as it is designed, you need to make the 328 wheel base longer and install 348 Suspension and transaxle.

If money is not the problem then I would suggest buying a real Ferrari - If it was me and I was using the fiero I would put a LS2, LS3, or the 500+ hp LS7 like V8 Archie is doing right now (All cheaper than a real engine swap and more horsepower).

Try doing a web search on google for T Rutlands, Tucker, Georgia. He is on the approved vendor list on this site.

My friend Jan and I have raced a 348 Challenge car for the past 4 years. The only problem we have is changing the belts. The engine needs to be removed in order to do so.
