I daily a Fiero and don't think even at its worst point people burned inside trapped without handles.

I think your fiero is from the post-Nader era in u.s. car manufacturing.

designed during, built after yes.

Oh same, but they are not well built and the iron duke is shit. I have to have 3 of them to keep one on the road working. at least they are good on gas. One day I might do an EV conversion.

I wonder if the 2.2l from an S10 could be swapped in? Like an LS swap but more pathetic.

Likely but depends on the era. I wanted to do a TDI swap but it's like building a fiero onto a jetta more then an engine swap.
