Fiero 3800 Turbo Part II

[Tom]

Modifications to allow the trans and motor to mate are already being worked on. Way ahead of what I expected. The rear exhaust manifold needs notched, the transmission range switch needs moved and modified (probably using the 65e one), the block needs a new hole, and the flexplate needs a new hole.

Should have kept the old block. It already had a nice hole in it!

I thought this was going to be a hard swap but it sounds like you are on top of everything.

The general consensus is that this is in the expert difficulty range. The guy doing the fabrication is pretty awesome at this stuff though.

Just wait till we get it dialed in a little better.

I changed my signature to reflect how large my new transaxle is compared to the motor.

Accurate.

Will this fix the shifter lockouts?

It might, I probably could have got them working on the 65 if i messed with them for awhile. They stopped working when I went to the metal shift cable because the stock one melted.

Things are coming along, I got the wrong fuel rail, that one is for an l67sc with an intercooler under the sc. Motor is shiny now!

[Tom]

HUGE

hopefully lol. They fit in with the N*, which is a huge motor. Pontiac originally put a sbc in Fieros before they determined it should be a secretaries car, so there is a ton of space in the bay.


Ordered the Transmisson Controller, looks like the l67 pcm isn't going to cut it. My car will no longer be considered stock

My car will no longer be considered gay

Hate to say, but yes Tom your car will still be gay.
