That'd be L67 loving the red in his ratings bar. But he said not to touch it, so I can't switch my plus to a neg for him...

Thanks for the write-up! I am getting this transmission soon and will be contacting you about the cables.

Great writeup! Now if someone only made the mounts for the 60* bellhousing we'd have a lot of conversions going on. Thanks for your time and effort on this, the Fiero community will certainly benefit from this writeup.

great write up. Will be much help when doing mine. Might be in on the group buy if it happens.

Thanks for taking the time to do this, I already had a + for you.

Now I just need to look in the other F23 threads to see whats needed to bolt up to a 3800. Still not clear on the bellhousing swap thats necessary.

Excellent. This forum needs a tech article section for stuff just like this.

2000-2002 Pontiac Sunfire or Chevy Cavalier - Only the 2200 engine vehicles - others use the ecotech pattern. From searching car-part.com it appears that the vehicle Vin "4" is the one you'd want. The Vin "F" appears to be Ecotec motors.

Yes, Yes they are. AFR 195cc Eliminator Street Heads, angled plugs. The builder said they were nicest heads "right out of the box" he'd ever seen. I know AFR has had some issues in the past, but I guess they got their QC up to par - or I just got really lucky. The exhaust was also built around the builders recommendations. The cam I went with was Comp Cams 280XFIHR13. Scott (The builder) thought it was going to be a little too mild, but he was pretty impressed with it. The big thing was finding a cam that would work well with the carb but was designed/would work with EFI. This had the best of both worlds, and it's ramp rate (an undervalued/overlooked aspect by most people) is great.
