I've been farting around with the Northstar as of late. I removed the 94, installed a 98, and rebuilt the mounts because I wasn't pleased with them. Removed a bunch of things like the gas tank, cleaned / painted, And now I'm just hooking up and getting ready to fire the 98. I'm doing the fuel management a little differently this time, running the shifter cables out closer to the trans, and I'll be doing the exhaust to accomidate a couple turbochargers.
The part I'm at right now is a little boring, but I'll post up some pictures of the exhaust when it comes to building it. I'm hoping that will come this year, as winter is coming soon. I just bought a house so I've been working on that as of late, not to mention that work is a heavy as well. So I don't think I'll be doing any interior stuff until spring time, I've been welding alot so the interior has been stripped.
Been a while so I might as well post up a couple pictures.
Heres the state of my engine right now. Doubt you can tell in this picture but the valve covers are painted and texture coated..
And this is the daily driver eariler this year. She's lowered now on koni's / teins + exhaust. With of course one of the fieros (the 87 GT) in the garage.
I also have a pair of 245/45/17's for the front in case I feel the need to go larger with the widebody. Or I'll just put the 18's up front and get 19"s for the rear and some really big tires!
Yeah i'm having the same dilema with picking wheels. I have prett much decided on this wheel and I know I want at least 18"s but I want them to come out even with the fenders in the front and back I have about 4" from face of hub to the edge of fenders in back but im not sure how to pick an offset that will make the rims sit even with the fenders.

Both of my offsets are "perfect" with the upper fender lip of a stock 84-87 fiero.
I can't say wheither the rear wheel will hit the "stock" rear spring perch, because I have coilovers front / back. But measure 8.5" from the clip lip in the rear and see if it will touch.
EDIT - This is the first layer of the widebody and it is already 1 inch wider then stock. Keep that in mind while I start making that 4-5 inches.....Its going to be incredible.
She's still kicking around. My main goal is to get a driver out of the 87 GT for right now, and get the mechanical done. Then finish the body and swap it over.
I guess a widebody GT TTN* will have to do for the meantime.
