If you read this far and are looking for your own 88 GT project, please see my post in the Mall for 3 GT project cars that could likely yield an 88 GT and an 87 GT.

Hey best of luck w the sale! Some body buy the mans cars! I would but I just need an 88 cradle n trans. Found one close by too, just gotta make room for it in the back yard. Got a great deal on it. Only problem is it came w the whole rest of a car oy!
Hit pick n pull today for a parts run, saw this in one o the aisles
Dunno how its done elsewheres, but here they weld 2 wheels together perpendicular and use that for stands. They used to use 4, now theres only 3. Old 60s and 70 wheels w janky welds. Sketchy!
Anywho scored my parts. Motors almost complete, mosta the harness wrapped
Got a 77" belt to get a lil more slack on the tensioner. I really hate that vacuum tee thingie on the top of the motor. Looks like chit, and when you turn it the way you need for the swap- theres a buncha vacuum lines that look fugly. Nay I say. I made a block off plate from aluminium. Drilled the side of the blower and mounted a 5/8" barbed nipple for the big brake vacuum line. The others will all tee off the tb port. Got the pcm ends today at the boneyard so I can finish up the harness to be plug n play. Fierorog is working on my flywheel, alreddy got the bolts. Dug out the fuse box I got w the first motor I pulled. Going to try and mount the pcm in the engine bay(was going to try a factory airbox but theyre yuuuge), and have all the engine power lines going to the separate factory fusebox to minimize the wiring going into the fiero cabin.

You forgot the AC compressor. I'm not even gonna go into depth the issue with running the SC on the same belt as the accessories.

Appreciate it!
Cut up and bent the map sensor bracket to mount it to the intake, tryin to keep errthang nice and toight!
Pulled the fuel rail and took the harness apart and id each wire, cut the at wires out from the pcm connectors, extending the short ends of the harness, and started wiring the fiero end. And a whole buncha udder stuff I cant remember now.
I had an idear for a schweet lil lip spoiler that carried the lines of the back, picked up some 2x2 drip edge at hd, and came up w this
then glassed it
I like it a lot, kinda wanted the rake lower. Oh well, on the next one

Thanks man, always too much going on so gotta pick at it lil by lil.
Swap motors getting closer and closer to completion, got some wiring diagrams from ryan at sinister performance( The only place to go for 3800 pcm programming!) to figure out the mess of wires. Going to hafta swap some wires in the connectors to match my pcm. Im going to swap pcms between the kit car and fiero(cant drive em both at once! lol). Got my ls swap motor mounts and installed, fuel line kits here, waiting on fittings. So for the fiero v6 im going to get some male threaded ends to go into the fuel rail with the quick disconnect male ends. That way I can just plug the 3800 fuel lines into the stock v6 when the changeover time comes. Everything else on the motor is good to go.
Almost done with the rear lip I made, got it good enuf to put some color on it. Love it! Notice the sides are different lol. One is curved back, and one is angled back. Dunno which style I like better, like em both.
Its not done done, just a feeler. I want the rake more raked so ill be building another eventually.
All my times going into wrapping up the kit car and making fiberglass stuff. Thats it for now
