Default V8 Fiero with an LS4

Some video of my 88 Fiero GT with the LS4.
The video is sub-par but is a start.

Very nice. Saw where you can get this done for $10500 out in TX. I'm sure you got out a lot cheaper on your own, though. VERY cool. I love it. Actually planning on buying a L67 Fiero here pretty soon.

Thanks, I got the drive train for about $2,000. The interior was about $1,000.
No way could I do this for a "job" WAY to much work to actually make money.
But it is a truly unique Fiero.

I wish I knew how to do any of that. Love all the custom work. Any room for turbo in there? Just curious.

Thanks, no room for a turbo. I don't want to cut into my trunk. My wife and I took the car on a three day trip. That is where the vid came from. If I cut my trunk like some others have done to their Fiero, I could not take our cloths. BUT if I did cut the trunk I guess I could do a turbo? To be honest, I would love to install a turbo. I just don't want to spend the $,$$$ on one right now.
Do you have a system, cheap? LOL.

I plan on an LS6 intake swap. I am getting 25mpg with the DOD. But this is a toy and the extra power is worth the extra gas it will use. And a 6 speed manual would top it all of nicely.

Just curious, I'm deciding beween an LSx RX-7 or Turboing the GXP... The kit is only $5,500 plus shipping

6-speed would be awesome.

Yes the dash is a 08 Malibu and the radio, HVAC controles, gauges, steering colum and all switches are 06 Monte.
I wanted the Malibu dash but had to use the Monte electronics to comunicate with the Monte BCM for all the normal Monte functions to work properly.
