I have a 1986 Fiero SE just had the head checked and it has a crack. I know that the Iron Duke was produced for several Pontiacs and some American Motors cars. What years of the 2.5 will interchange with my SE?

Copied from the Fiero Interchange Parts page. I hope this comes through with the correct formatting.


As might be expected, the cylinder heads in a Fiero are common to many GM engines. There were many variations so care must be exercised in getting the correct heads.

The following information was posted to Pennock's Fiero Forum by "Ray", Houston, TX:

Better flowing heads for an '87-88 Fiero 2.5L are found on the '90-93 S-10, S-15 and Blazer. Using these heads requires transferring the intake manifold with the heads, but all other parts from the Fiero will bolt on directly. Changing the heads/intake provides a bit more horsepower and better mileage. The exhaust ports on the newer heads are smaller than those on the Fiero but are more efficient. The combustion chambers are different and provide better fuel/air mixing and better cooling.

'87-88 2.5L: The heads below will interchange if the coolant outlet and positions are switched. Heads must have identification number 10054501, 1006630, 10117770 or 12360340.
