Can you do a video on your custom fuel rails? What size tap did you use? What fitting lengths etc? I want to try this, I'm a little confused about how you measure the fuel injection ports. Seems like it would need to be very precise.

No need for a video. I've had this half complete for years and you just gave me a reason to do it. Check out the Fuel Section in Build 2 again: https://www.fiero.nl/forum/.../HTML/139530.html#p7 Enjoy!

My video of the biggest Fiero Show ever! In the 40th Anniversary Fiero show I tried to get every car and engine bay! It was AWESOME! AMAZING cars and People. Great to meet so many of you and looking forward to the 45th!!! Enjoy the virtual show and some corny 80s beats.
Additionally, I launched an Amazon storefront where you can see not only 3800 Fiero Swap parts, but many more parts for 3800 modification, e85 conversion, FIero repair, tools, and more. Check out specific lists here:
Any chance of you doing one on making an F23 work on a 3800? I realize your car is an auto, but there are so many people asking for info on this (mounting , axles, flywheel. clutches, etc) that it would be great to have someone knowledgeable doing a current write-up. Not sure if there is anyone near you doing an F23 swap with a 3800?

Hey! The write-up does actually include the parts you need for F23 and other transmissions already (spread out a bit; try pressing Control+F on PC or find in page on your phone and search F23), although no videos or diagrams (because I have not done it myself). I do not have plans on installing one myself.

Today's video is how to replace 1988 Calipers and parking brake cables. Probably will not post another Fiero related video for a long while. Please enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/wat...QL4pabfi1DyA&index=1

Merry Christmas! Just fixed broken links in the 3800sc Fiero Swap guide for the Christmas Season. New videos coming Spring (hopefully!) God bless you and your families. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/139530.html
You bet! Hopefully I'll have time a few times a year to go through it. Haven't looked at it since May. It was in decent shape surprisingly, only made about 10 updates to links.
That's a great list of parts however I think it's a bit misleading. Their are many different ways to do the 3800 swap depending on your abilities and finances. Honestly looking over your list I don''t think I used a single part from it to do any of my swaps.
This was a really helpful thread by Austin loaded with great information.. You may not be able to apply all of it but there is something here for just about everyone. Years back we completed several 3800SC swaps and may not have used every part referenced here but its still excellent info to have. From having owned one; the 3800 engine is admittedly an old design but is still an relatively easy swap capable of producing good power even in stock form. It is sturdy and has proven reliable. now with the push of the auto industry towards 3 and 4 cylinder engines, I'm glad to have my V6.
