Recently I got this email from someone living here in town (Edmonton, Alberta (Canada))...thought the rest of you might be interested in this.
enjoy, Tim
ps >> I will try and get a bunch more pictures.
>>>> Gentlemen:
Recently we completed a restoration of a Fiero race car built by Huffaker Engineering of California, the GM contractor for racing Fieros 1985-87. This car is serial no. 009 from 1987. It has a tube frame according to the Pontiac Motorsports drawings, and Huffaker-engineered inline gearbox layout with Hewland DGB 201 and a 90 degree Chevy V6 of 4500 cc/475 hp. Huffaker sent it to the Caribbean when new; I bought it from the owner in Puerto Rico, a radiologist, a few years ago. It had done only two races from new. We expect to race it in Calgary June 22-23, at the Edmonton Namao airport sports car races in mid-July and at the Molson Indy Vancouver sports car race July 28.
Regards, Jack Ondrack

Geez, who was it wanted to know if a bored 4.3L would be worth doing. Well there is your answer 475hp.
Funny, I thought Huffaker only built them with SD4's? 4.3L engines were not around until the early 90's. Or am I missing something here? Good find though.

It might be a GMPP Buick race block. Technically they're sold as Chevy's.
I will try and meet up with him next week and take a bunch of photos. He is in Calgary this weekend...perhapes some of the Calgary boys can get some photos and info?

Ok, I want this car more than the IMSA bodied Fiero I have now.
Think he will trade?

84 Fiero SE (88 Pontiac Ad car motor and tranny being installed, T-tops, Fastback, Formula bumpers and Held Suspension being added) 84 Fiero IMSA Widebody (Centerlines, 3800SC & T-tops being added) 88 Formula (basically stock)
I think I remember a weblink/ebay a couple years back of someone trying to sell a race fiero out of Puerto Rico. They were asking $60,000 I think, wonder if this is the one?
This is a hella sweet car! It has a FANTASTIC look!
