350 in datsun/fiero anyone?

[shep]

Anyone know of anyone who has done it around here? either one? My cousin would like to do it to his fiero and i would like to buy a datsun and do it. I was going to do a cummins in a 350, but im going to wait till my senior year and do it for senior project, due to the fact that it is kind of hard to tell a panel of people the justification of putting a large motor in small car. I know of websites that show how to do it, but i would like to actually talk to someone who has done it to find out if they did it all over again, what would they change or do different or any tips or which adapters they used. Let me know PLEASE!

Just seems counterproductive to put that heavy of an engine in a chassis like that. You can go so many different routes and be lighter/faster... I guess I just don't get it. To each his own.

it is about 125lbs more to do the swap.....i want to do it because there aren't many around, plus its a little different.
