Aint that the truth.. I got lucky today.. you usualy dont see 84 fiero's in the junk yard. And its a real PITA because the wiring harness on them is all a$$ backwards from the other years.. and i have a need to keep this car original so i cannot change it to a later year harness... an top of that one of the PO's or DGP messed up the original harness a little so i needed to get another one to put another engine in it.. Its moving along though.. with any luck it should be moving under its own power very soon... Just not all that powerful |

I'v located an engine for the DGP. It is by no means a preformance engine but it will get the thing running under its own power for the time being until i can do up the ecotec for it on a sepret cradel.. so you might be able to see this on the road soon.

Well after A VERY agervating day at the junk yard (the motor that they had for me (soposedley running) i got up there and found it was seized up So the chances of it being at littiz are slim.....
But the IMSA for the first time in nearley a decade is finaly showing signs of life :D hooked up the harnses today and put the fusable links togeter and hooked up a battery:D... ladys and gents its waking up slowley but sureley Everything works minus the start of an engine which will be corrected soon, |

Please don't do to this what you did to the car I got ripped off on & the white one you got from me... not being a Dick but well speaking the truth this cars got history.
Also if I remember correctly the widebody car that car craft built with the sd4 was pretty high in power and ran 11s. Also guys even if he was to spend the money and restored it top to bottom with the sd4 its not going to be worth too much as its a fiero. Fieros have been in my life since day one my moms owned a fully loaded 5 speed gt and I've owned 4 so far so I have nothing against them and there my,#1 favorite car but most people hate them wont spend a whole lot compared to Say a 1 of 4 road runner etc But its deff a sick car and I'm happy you got it

I scored a nice temporary engine to hold it over until i make up my mind on a preformance engine. Right now just so i can move it its going to be sporting a stock 86 Very good running Tec4. Drove the car is ued to be in today than pulled the motor and it runs perfectley. the IMSa might be on the road in a week or so.

This car has done a real number on me this weekend... 3 times of trial an error on trying to install the motor i decided to make fiero history and attempt to drop the engine mated to the transmission through the top of the car. And I was sucessful the engine and tranjsmission are in the car and bolted down.. now its pretty much putting everything back together.
The whole thing is in there 100% every mount is down and on there... From here its just putting things back in place on it. I fought the duke and the duke lost. Only thing i need to replace is the oil filter (which needs replacing anyway) and the distributor cap. What made all this possable you ask? Removal of the rear bumper (which by the way is easy on the IMSA And doughnuts on both wheels put it at just the right height to lower the engine in straight. |
