Part 2:

http://www.fiero.nl/forum/A...060811-1-055687.html

I did a 5 speed 3800SC swap into my 88 GT but never did a build Thread on it.--It has since been sold and parts gathered for an LS4 swap. Man after going back and looking at my build Threads, I really need to pull my swap out and do a clean up on it.

Can someone point me to a thread that shows how to *wire* these things? I can't tell you how much time I've spent going through these threads & I have yet to find anything on how to do the wiring.
I have a '95 Buick 3800, a '92 Lumina 4T60e (should be the same as the Buick trans, right?), the ECU & wiring from it to the engine out of the Buick, & an '88 Fiero 4 cyl. car.
THANK YOU,
~ Paul

Not sure if your down with adding this but here is my build thread with lots of pics and true dual exhaust.

I am working on the second part of my build, which is pulling the motor back out and adding some performance parts. I will be sure to add pics as I do.
