I hesitate to stick my nose in on such a great looking build but, have you considered putting chrfab cam covers on that engine? Like anything chrfab they aren't cheap and I won't be putting them on any of my N*s, but my N*s don't have the intake system that you do. If I've ever seen a N* crying out for those cam covers, it's yours. Just my opinion, you can throw it away. I love what you've done.

Ok got the rest of the interior reinstalled:


The rear window trim goes in first then the headliner and A/B pillar trim last:


Then I cut and tucked the headliner into the sunroof track:


I'm very pleased with the colour and the way it turned out with the new piping installed:

Hey bubbajoexxx can i do a 14" rotor on the 1986 Fiero LT1.

Also the Corvair what years and model for the wheel hubs or do you have any for sale.

Also we have the s10 wheel hub for the rear but can we use the Fiero uprights or have to use Pontiac 6000 if so what year?

Also the Corvair what years and model for the wheel hubs or do you have any for sale.1962 to 1969 yes i have a set but the cost of shipping is outrages

Also we have the s10 wheel hub for the rear but can we use the Fiero uprights or have to use Pontiac 6000 if so what year?1986 to 1992 6000 with heavyduty brakes and 115 bolt pattern

The thing that stresses the spindle is the size of the tire...

A 14" brake rotor wouldn't load the spindle any more than an 11" brake rotor if they're both used with 185 tires...

FYI: Corvair hubs up to and including 1964 are four lug. 1965 to 1969 are five lug 4 3/4 pattern. I also believe (could be wrong) that hubs from early Chevelle/GM clones with the forged spindles/drum brakes or with the seperate hub/rotor can be used (look for a bolt-on steering arm). Hubs from cast spindles will not work.

Finished modding the transaxle with accessories from the other one so it's ready for installation:


Grinded clearance for the N* waterpump:


Loosened up the shift linkage and swapped over:


Bored out brass sleeve to fit shift rod and swapped speedo sensor:


Decided to go hard line for slave and used AN adapter and flare fitting to adapt to 1/4" tube:


I'm back from vacation in Cuba, and ready to install this:


Bubbajoe, any news from the machinist on the flywheel mod?

I know I am about 9 years late to the party, but wow, this thread is something else. The evolution of this beastie is something to behold, I just skimmed the whole thread for the last almost 2 hours.

And then I went to photoshop and did this.. shameless, I know..

Not much to report other than I flushed and filled the transaxle with fresh gear oil.
Need to pick up my flywheel soon as I need to have the newest project out of the garage by the May long weekend.
