No problem, Irv Hoerr (Hoerr-racing) said the same thing, as discussed earler.
Thanks!

How do you drill a crankshaft for a Throw out bearing?

Does he mean clutch pilot?

2 quick notes...
first: Those pics of Aussie Engines where clearly Car ****. Please, post more.

And Second: Go Pancho Power weg a 455 in there! I heard someone got a 400 into a fiero, 455 is the same dimentions, it should fit. (If someone actually has acheived a reliable 455 in a fiero, you are deserving of the title 'Pontiac God' right up there with the GTO Judge design team)

Okay Archie, Point taken. Since you're offering a bunch of engine pictures to car guys, send them over.
I don't mind which side the throttle body is on because I don't care for the side inlet on the Fiero anyway.
