LS7 Fiero swap

As a little bump to this thread.
While the car is out to paint, we're gathering parts & sending other parts out for metal finishing so we can get it back together as quickly as posible after it's painted.
Also, so you all don't worry about the LS7 getting lonely, we've got an LS3 & an LS376 in to keep it company.

They are all going into Fieros.

Yeah, I need an LS3 or LS376 for my demo car.
If some dealership or supplier wanted to donate the engine, I could put some of their decals on the side of my car.
But, I'll bet ya that all they send me is a Christmas card in December.

a little update from Mark the painter AKA Firefox on the PFF forum

Sorry the links for the pics are Down, I will repost
I sprayed one more coat of color after the last shot and the clear isn't shown in the pics. As I type here, there is another weather front moving in and we've got more heavy rain. I'm going to spray the last coat of clear in about 15 minutes and it'll be done for the night. It's looking great!

I'm intrigued by the LS7 swap, but I have to say that I love those headlights. I'm sick of the problems with the pop-ups in my '87 GT. I've seen a kit for flush ones, but they look kind of plain and narrow.
Are they custom or modified from another car?

Darkhorizon If you don't mind keep your Archie bashing Sh*t to your self or start your own thread if you must. If you hate this setup so much why in the hell did you follow it here, build a better mouse trap or shut the f**k up. On the other forum you don't talk highly of V8 motors so why are you on a LS forum? [QUOTE]
Man, what a poser. I hate ricers that troll and try to destroy good forums.

Yeah... TPI looks great... but i almost forgot what that meant when the LSx's came out. The LS7 doesn't need to be dressed up to look good... it just looks good because it's a bad motha!
