As far as trannys go the choices out there for Fieros is limited, but that being said this car is not using a fiero tranny . We are using a cryno treated G6 6speed tranny. As of date all of the G6 6 spd trannys are holding up with the LS swaps. If it doesn't hold in the long run I'll just try something else and continue my dream.

 

Shaun don't worry about me I'll be ok, I've invested well and I'm willing to pay the price to think out of the box. Can you post the specs and pics of your car, after all you are the master, right??

 

shaun thinks this is a game, quote from his home base forum:

 

I applaud Mrtroyboy for going "all out" on an LS7 swap. It will be an insane fiero, that's for sure. Most people aren't crazy(?) enough to drop $20k into a $2k car. Good luck with your project.

I agree with the transmission comments though, there aren't many options that will live up to a LS7. The F40 transmission you're using from a Pontiac G6 isn't proven. The "40" comes from the maximum gearbox torque - 400N-m or ~300ftlb. It's not going to last long behind 500lb-ft. Plus, with a 3.55 final and 3.77 first (depending on model), it's going to be a pretty worthless first gear, so you have a 3 speed with 2 overdrive gears.

I've been into fieros for a few years now. Lurked here for a while too. I think this is one of my first posts. I've seen Archie's work first hand and driven one of his swaps. I will say this: I would have chosen someone else for an LS7 swap. If I'm spending $10k on an engine, I want to be damn sure it's installed right. Nothing personal with Archie (I don't know the guy), but I have seen his crimp bent exhaust, the underperforming fiero videos, and generally poor engineering decisions when it comes to engine swaps (mounts, etc) But good luck to you both! Please post a 1/4 mile video when you get it together!

 

BTW shaun Archie didn't work on the motor on this guy's car, get your fact's straight.

 

You are right, he did the bodywork, not the motor, and from what he says, he isn't happy at all with how cletus treated him after spending $17k dollars with him. Not only that but the customer had green coolant in his overflow tank, when there was dexcool in the car when he took it to cletus' shop. Gee now how did that happen?

He did however work on the motors in the otehr videos I posted, and you see what those 2 outcomes were right? Like I said he doesnt' know what he is doing.

 

You guys need to settle down and stop the trolling, bashing, and attacking. This is the 1st warning.

That is unbelieveable!!!!!!!

 

If thats a c5 brake kit it was copied from Design One

 

No shaun, wrong again. It was purchased from Design One and installed by Archie. But I'm sure you knew that because you have one Right??

It was bought from design one, but he is copying it to sell it as his own. So rumor has it from a very reputable source

 

shaun your just ignorant!!! I'm done with you

 

Back on topic pics of the car with new nose job b4 paint and final install of the LS7:

makes me miss my '86 fun car to drive with the 4cyl. i can imagine with that kind of power.

 

Shaun, why don't you call 1-800-get a life for goodness sakes.

If the V8 Fiero is not your thing, why do you constantly have to rain all over someone else's parade?

Troyboy's car is exactly what he wants it to be, why do you care what engine he has chosen.

Troy, very nice car I wouldn't even bother defending it to the trolls.

 

Pretty cool car. You should shave off the black moulding, it would look better.

 

That would be a HARD assignment on a Fiero.... those rub stribs aren't just stuck on
