Happy Christmas Eve V8: 1984 Pontiac Fiero Indy 500 Pace Car


If you had a limited edition Indy 500 “Official” Pace Car Pontiac Fiero and wanted to maintain maximum sellable value, you’d think it would be best to keep the original iron duke 4-banger, but you’d be dead wrong. That is because an upgrade to a Chevy 305 small-block V8 is indeed an upgrade in value to the market, even if said 305 V8 has an air cleaner that is smaller in diameter than the average toilet bowl cleaning brush. Find this 1984 Pontiac Fiero Indy 500 Pace Car offered for $8000 in Topeka, KS via facetrash bigbrotherbook Tip from Jason.

It would have been the same amount of work to bolt in a 327, 350 or 400 cubic inch Chevy. Never understood the logic in using a 305.
Budget build. Because people will gladly give you a 305 for free. You have to pay for a 327, 350, or 400.
305?
Darn, used my Checker Marathon joke quota on that Corvette.
Ugh… not only an anemic 305, but a slush-box!
