UPDATE 2-19-07 ""Up On Jacks Stands Again""

I've got to start the engine up and let it run, and even drove it 3 blocks. Now, the car won't start I turn the key, and all I get is a "Click". I've tried taking out all the plugs and turning it by hand, but no luck. Engine won't turn in the least. Don't know what i'm goin to do now, might buy a new engine and drop that in. Cold in the garage, and can't get motivated to work on it. Goin to be dropping a 2.8 into my silver GT this week so I'll have a daily driver, so the 3800sc project is going to be on the back burner for awhile I think. I have the car schedule for a dyno on March 27th with "Indy Club Grand Prix", so hopefully I can get the car running by then. Thanks for the comments! I'll get you guys posted.

Well, it's still not running. Too cold to work in the garage so havn't mest with it to much. It's goin to get into the 50's this week so i'm planning on dropping the engine back out. I dropped the oil pan last weekend and didn't noticed anything broken or out of place. Only new toy I've got for the Fiero was a PSI gauge for the air ride

Besides the engine swap, here's some other plans I'll be doing to the car soon.

-Mount gauges~Boost gauge, Air Ride PSI gauge, Oil Pressure gauge. Mounting them where the stock one's go above the middle concole.

-Remount air tank, compressors, and valves. Planning on removing the plastic spare tire holder and making a custom box for the air ride components.

-Body work~ taking my hood into school to put a vent in it here soon. After that taking all the panels off for paint. Still don't know what color I want to paint the car. I'm taking a custom paint class right now so I would like to do some air brushing on the car, but nothing major. Really want to shave the moulding, but I don't want anymore down time on the car then there already is.

-Breaks~new rotors, cals, pads, break lines, ect

-Bag the rear

-Re-bag the front~no longer running bags for fun. Going to set it up for performance and handling. No more "Side 2 Side" or hoping lol
