Guess I should've put some info up, LOL
This is the one that Saxman got many years ago from a hack in West Virginia Over 10 years ago she got a bent rod, it's been sitting in that spot since then. She is coming out to get a new heart.

As much as I would love to do that, there are these things called time, money and life that are going to prevent that. Should be able to do next year if all goes as planned. What am I thinking, nothing ever goes as planned. LOL

Bringing it out of the neglected hole
Loaded up and going for a ride
Temporary holding spot until we get warmer weather and time. That LT1 383 stroker in front of it is what we are going to attempt to put in place of the current problematic sbc that's in it.

Got the radiator out. Yons told Saxman it was a 4 core out of a Nova. It's only a three core totally copper radiator. They haven't made an all-copper radiator in 50 years, have they? Look at the solder bloom inside, this is the reason you only use distilled water to mix your antifreeze, never use tap water. The minerals in the tap water do this.
Now take notice to the fins per inch compared to the next pic of the new radiator I'm going to be installing.
Now this is only a 2 core, but they are huge cores. Another extra bonus is, it's a triple pass. The coolant will pass through the radiator 3 times before it exits.
Now this new radiator is larger, but where there is a will, there is a way.

A couple days earlier I sprayed bolts with penetrating fluid, tonight when we went to drop the cradle, we realized this bolt was never tightened or came loose, whole knows. This was on the passenger side front cradle mount. The lower control arm on same side also has a bolt that is not tight.
Took the inner wheel well out to access the water pump bolts, WOW I don't know how or why this is the way it is LOL
I guess this is the typical rust areas of a Fiero
This is my favorite part. I have no words, I tried, but I kept backspacing and deleting the words I typed, so wrote this instead.
We got it out and called it a night
