I'm sure it is! Don't want one, just found it and thought I'd share. Probably a dupe but maybe someone might be interested in finding out more.

In the picture, one can see that something is unusual in the way
that the intake flange fastens to the head below the TPS.
"Street & Performance S/B Ram-Port Fuel Injection was
designed for the new Fast Burn Aluminum & Vortec Cast Iron Heads"
The Ram-Port intake is similar to the one provided on Indmar Marine Engines
fitted to Mastercraft boats. On the Indmar/Mastercraft version, the
upper section of the intake is cast to appear as though there are
runners but in fact, the upper section is a large empty plenum. This
plenum sits on a base with very short runners.

A picture I took through the throttle body of an Indmar and one
someone else took of an Indmar installed in an F-Body offered for sale.


These images and others appeared in a thread from last year:

Big engine + little car... sound like fun to me. Maybe not a fiero tho but to each his own.

Fieros are monsters with the right engine (i.e. SBC). Perfectly balanced chassis, light weight...if it looked as good as the C4 I might have one of those!

Knew a couple of guys with V8 Fieros in MI, one autox'ed it.

Quit the ride!

Needed to be careful on the shifts with the transaxle.
