The 85 and 87 engines aren't direct swaps.  You would be downgrading if you went with an 85 engine.  Other things like wiring and ECM's, and maybe some of the plumbing would need to be changed. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I've done some searching and can't find anything in North Georgia or even into South Carolina.

That could probably be arranged for a small fee if you find one.

that long block has to be in a bunch of different cars, It is more common that in an engine swap at a For Profit Garage is plannining on using all your external parts and sell you new stuff Too.  Point is look past Fiero's   WIKI that engine.

I pulled this from FieroSails link in our Merchants and Vendors section. 

 '87 Fiero 2.5L Engine: The following engines can be used in a Fiero except for the flywheel or flexplate. Change induction, exhaust, and electrical systems, pilot bushings as necessary. Will not interchange with '88 engines due to oil pan interference with frame.

Pontiac 6000        '87 2.5L VIN "R"
Chevrolet Celebrity '87 2.5L VIN "R"
Buick Century       '87 2.5L VIN "R"
Olds Cutlass Ciera  '87 2.5L VIN "R"

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

It is possible to get a better 2.5L engine for the '87-88 2.5L Fiero from a 1993 S-10. The 2.5L engine from the '93 S-10 should provide over 100 HP and considerably better mileage.

 First thing to remember is they are also 30 years old, If you don't see it drive,  It's Junk,  No If's and's or But's.
