Selling my spare Archie kit and parting out 87 GT. Story behind the parts car and the kit is, the parts car was a daily driver I did the swap to. car had rust issues, had to abandon it. Got an 88 GT that came with an Archie kit. I have been picking at the 87 GT to get my 88 GT completed, and at a point where I am nearly done with parts car. I just have brakes and wheels to remove for my 88 GT. I hope to get to that this weekend.

It's an earlier kit, so adapter plate and alternator mount are steel not aluminum. Centerforce clutch is also an earlier one, as I understand they took a quality dive a few years back and only has about 500 miles on it.

Archie 11.25 brake brackets will be available after I get it them off parts car. Hopefully this weekend.

Many hours went into the cradle. Front crossmember has been strengthened and boxed. Cracks were welded. Whole thing was professionally media blasted and undercoated. Cradle also comes with Rodney's aluminum cradle bushings.

Exhaust is a Flowmaster single in, dual out with aluminized piping. will need to be welded back together.

Looking for $1200 for the Archie kit w/ cradle. Make offer for anything on parts car.

would prefer local pickup for the big stuff. Small stuff I can ship and transact through paypal. Feel free to ask any questions, I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things here. Thanks for looking.

How is the exhaust routed and what is the diameter?
I am definitely interested if you will sell it separately.

2.5 inch. Its routed for small block chevy with Sanderson CC90 headers. Front exhaust routes from header flange down beside to passenger rail, pretty much follows the stock V6 routing except the rear pipe tees into the other pipe down near the axle shaft. Muffler and tailpipes are similar to stock V6 fiero. I would be interested in selling separate. Let me know what you'd offer for it.

Body color is Silver with Gray ground effects. I should mention rear decklid had a fox-body Mustang scoop mounted to it, so it has a hole in it with mounting bolt holes also. I swapped the scoop to my 88 GT.

This setup didn't require any cuts to the trunk did it? I have a 3800 car but with WCF headers so it is the stock style v6 routing.
I would need to cut and weld up the rear side header pipe. I'm local so not shipping. Not sure what to offer. PM me what you were thinking?
