i dont know what makes people do things like that. You know that wasn't cheap to make it that ugly.. At some point, wouldn't you look at it and think..."Something just ain't right here...." Hopefully you can give it the body its always wanted

the new black car has won an award for ugliest wing ever

that being said i hated the hood on the screamer, and when i saw you were doing a body swap to it, i was really hoping that the stock hood would go with the body swap, but it didnt.

but i guess each person has their own style, so it might be exactly what you were looking for, i mean heck, someone at one time must have thought that black car would look awsome with that crazy wing.

The IROC hood was removed from the Screamer and the stock hood was installed.

Everybody has been knocking the rear wing on the car. Granted it is going to be scrapped from the project, but it looks very similar to Archie's PPE wing, and I can't recall anyone knocking how that car turned out.

I knocked the ridiculous claims made about it and received an corrsepondingly absurd rebuttal from Archie.

Ahhh, you poor guy.

That was like, what maybe 2 or 3 years ago.

Sorry that I hurt your feelings so bad that you're still carrying that around with you.

I like the look with the stock hood much better. The car looks very cool. I had a raised wing for a while and I think your setup looks better than mine did.

BTW, still looking for those dyno numbers.

Arn

I like it!

Give you $100 for it as it sits

Was your building a former horse barn?

Glad to see the hood replaced w/ a stock one, not another fake IROC hood. Those hoods belong on front engine cars.

Hello !!!!!!!!

I am the chosen one !!

I will be helping out Craig with the shop. Right now we are trying to get the website up and running. It is still under construction.

In couple days i will try to have it ready.

Also, we need to clean up and paint the shop.

Fieros Unlimited of Wisconsin will fix all Fieros, doesn't matter how many cylinders you have.

That's it for now.

Oh and don't hate on the batmobile !!!!!



dominik

wow dozol ! that's awesome. Glad to hear guys. You guys should make a great team.

I may be coming into Wisconsin for thanksgiving at my aunts, and would love to check out everything, and
finally meet you Dominik. I think its really cool what you guys are doing.

Craig i sent you an email

Please post up pictures along the way as you guys get the shop ready

Good Luck!

Hey Kyle!

Last weekend I saw your cars. Fiero looked extremely sad. I asked what was going on and it said: " I want to be driven already ! "

So Kyle, you have any plans for near future??

If I get a chance I will wash 'em.

Nah, it's a great laugh. The best jokes never stop being funny. The idea of a 7000 RPM TPI engine is continually hilarious.

I was just watching Chris Rock the other night. You should take your act on the road. I bet you could get more laughs than him.

I quess you have never bought a replacement part for your car and had it go bad....
Not worth holding on to? so I quess you junk any car when the coil goes bad or the module craps out.
Poor job at a slam. your inexperience shows.

quote Originally posted by tjm4fun:...Not worth holding on to? ...

3 owners in 3 months.

What, you don't like turbo thrusters?

I didn't sink anybody 6" in the mud. I sold the car for double what I had in it, and it helped finance the new shop. The car broke down because of a defective part, not because of anything I did. I'm sorry, but I am not a car god that can see a part going bad 3 months down the line.

If I let anybody down, I am sorry. I had to do what was in the best interest for Fieros Unlimited. It is not easy or cheap starting a new business. I hope everybody can understand this.

Craig

Hey Guys

Lets bring back some memories. And I know I added my own soundtrack to it, sorry

------------------

I followed this Thread for many pages but didn't read everything once it got bumped to page 3 and then back up. Did the car ever make it to the dyno and what did it put down? I have a 307 from my old truck that I thought about building up and putting on a auto trans.

any dyno numbers yet!?!?!?!?

read through 8 pages for numbers that aren't here yet -- Bueller? Class? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Please......................make a believer -----

I just spent nearly two hours reading through this post. It made my Sunday.

Craig, thanks a ton for all of the info. I'm assuming the basics of what you outline can be applied to any engine, correct? All the detailed pictures were awesome, because it really shows the specifics of what needs to be done. You answered a lot of my questions.

Like so many others, I can't wait for some numbers. But even without, this thread is a winner.

Great topic and good job on the build! I'm also a 305 fan. You have inspired me to do mine. I have started gathering parts for my 305 V8 conversion. I'm using old school parts because I want to have muscle car sound and performace.
Thanks for such a nice job!

Where do you get the over the top vent scoops? Are they bolt on or do have to fiberglass knowledge?

SBC Fieros are allergic to dynos aren't they?

Very interested in this build up, any dyno numbers? Some recent engine shots would be great to see how the cosmetics of the build have held up, specifically the high heat ceramic paint on the headers.

I see the amount of work it took, wow. Here I am trying this for my first build. I am guessing that I will get the engine built and be in the same boat I was before, installing the bloody thing. Seems that there is much knowledge in rebuilds, pictures and such. My question is, why not write your own book on it? Fiero has enough of a following to sell to and to the others that have their own build ideas, try the same.

This 305 build gave me inspiration to try what I may or may not be able to accomplish but durn sure will give it the shot at the moon. Just hoping that this shot at the moon doesn't take a break from returning to it, lol. I am at the Cam Bearings and Cam install. Time to order them and see the next step through.

quote Originally posted by prostreet505: Now comes the fun part. Installing it into the car and taking it over to the dyno once the engine has been totaly broken in. Anyone what to take a quess what the hp. is going to be? I will update the parts and price list at the begining of this thread later this week. Craig

My guess was right, 0whp, 0trq.

If it ever did make it to a dyno... it would have been not running right, going rich, not tuned, the dyno was broke, etc anyway.

edit for gloating purposes....

I dont think I have ever seen a 3800 thread end in as much fail as this one has... the one that almost came close to it was golden86's sick little L67 setup, and he just had alot of bad luck (IMO lack of good judgment) with motors.
