Do you have the 3800sc yet? What engine is in the 85 now? Is it a running engine? Just curious...

Have the 2.8 liter in the 1985 fiero. The supercharge is 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix gtp I it’s drivable just the transmission needs to be rebuilt as it slips. The fiero has had a complete body tear down and painted in a pearl green. I I’m in the pro of redoing the interior It will be black Needs tint and few other things. But looks ok.

If you happen to find a shop that does this, please let me know! I'm out in Kelowna, BC and have had no luck.

I did find 3 and I believe that is all . Well you not going like this . 2 are in the US. And the last guy is in Ontario. I bin chatting with him so I probably will be going down there to get the swap done. Absolutely nobody in Alta or B.C , I’d drive to the states if i had to as well

Yeah, Mitch is in the Niagara area, and does great work! Unfortunately, I'm not able to justify the cost of shipping the car down there (was quoted about 2.5k CAD) and back.

There are shops in my area that will do it, but they have no experience with it, so that's going to add up a bunch of shop hours. Did you try Hayes Performance? https://hayesperformanceplus.com/?_sm_nck=1

I've heard great things about the guy in Niagara Falls. I've talked to him myself. If I had the money, he'd be the one I'd pick.

Oh ok. Did you ever get a price from him. I’m I don’t know if I should take the motor and tranny out whom I find a guy to do it. Probably be better and save labour I guess. Idk.

I spoke with them earlier this year and they said they've done the swap before. I say their name mentioned in one of the Facebook groups. Might be worth a try?

There's a guy in Krakow, Wisconsin that did mine. Granted that may be VERY far for you. He does good work and for cheap. He only charged me 2k and he fabricated dogbones and all that, got it done in a month.
