LS7 Fiero swap

Over the next couple of weeks I will have my zz430 swap replaced with a new LS7 with a modified cyrno treated G6 6spd transmission.

Did you do the work or have it done? Whoever did this is extremely talented. It is no easy task to fit, align, & get that Fiero TRANSMISSION sorted out, in order for that set up to work reliably. That is truley an engineering accomplishment. VERY well done

They're hydro formed with an individual hydro formed runner for each port on the inside.

We're having custom headers made for it.

Some money going into this build.

Deff wish yah the best of luck with it. Once someone breaks the ice with a new swap, others usually follow, and I looked at the fieros, Mr2s ect before I decided on the Ls1/Rx7 swap
