Thumbs up

Here you go Troy.

The Chrome cover for the E-Force Supercharger finally came in today.













She's ready to go home.

I thought I'd post an update on the final configuration of the car.

Before it left for home in August, we made a couple of engine trim parts to finish off the looks of the car.

Those parts went to chrome plating & then were sent on to Troy & he installed them.

So, here are pictures of the final configuration of this phase.

The fact that you managed to fit a v8 in there is wild, the fact that you managed to do it and top it off with a supercharger is insane. I'm amazed the engine bay turned out so clean. Very nice build, congrats.

I know this is a necro-bump, what what's the latest with this car? By now any issues have made themselves known, so hopefully this car is well sorted out now.

I've always been a big Pontiac fan and a Fiero fan also.

Looking forward to your update Troy, what ever you can share with us.

If anybody's close to Shreveport Louisiana, I've got 3 Fiero's that have to go. My intention WAS an LS install in the 88GT. I happened upon a 911 Porsche and did it instead. So these need to go.
This is an old picture of them, they have weather since then. The white is a 88 Formula, The Red is a 85GT, the maroon is a 88GT, none run now.




Make me an offer for all three.

A couple good places to fire a for sale post up on these cars are


Pennocks Fiero Forum, http://www.fiero.nl/cgi-bin/fiero/Ul...assCookie=true with 28k members



and the Fiero Facebook group.



https://www.facebook.com/groups/2204429635/




Depending on your price the 88's should go fairly quickly. The 85GT sadly which is one of my Favorite cars probably won't get much for it.



I'd also like to say Thank You for your Service.

Default V8 fiero

Very cool swap. I have a v8 by Archie Fiero and by putting the engine over the tires they move out. Mine is a 355 ferrari roadster. I like the IMSA body. Very racy

The junkyard I go to has several Fieros right now, including a teal convertible GT. Top looke like it was in decent shape too. Hate to see it sitting there rotting, but I don't have room for more projects. Located at U-pull and pay, Pontiac, MI.

Sorry for the semi-OT hijack, but I figured the fiero guys would see it here.

Very cool, glad I read through this. Details, effort and execution were spot on. I bet many people, including myself, would walk by this at a car show and think it was a factory car!
