Archie, Thru the use of black magic, I got my getrag+4.9 running and I'm going to enter it at the spectator drags (oval) at Seekonk Speedway on Labor Day weekend. I fully expect to blow up the motor. If/when it does die, I will be ready to send it to you for a full make over including F40+LS3 & Finale. Here's me racing a turbo'd Miata with the same chasis you did the HELD+F40+2.8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5ELhsbL_kc I took the better body and interior that was on the 4.9 car and moved it to this one and vice versa... This is where I expect the 4.9 to meet it's end. IP: Logged

WOW I came close to hitting him! This is why I backed off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyAt7WrkXd8 Errr, I meant LS4! Whichever is the 5.3 FWD... Yea that's what I live for...but that is the F40+ held suspension and actual car (was silver) that you worked on. Since then I swapped a 3400 block in and '7730 and other goodies. I might sell this one once I get the one I wanna send you squared away... I'm going to slowly upload all my videos to youtube, been doing it with exclusively with my Fieros since '96. This is the same car I wanna send you right after I bought it from Voytek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcT6YL7a-Mw Does the body look familiar? Back then is was a turbo 3.1... Oh god the $$ I've spent on engine swap... [This message has been edited by lou_dias (edited 08-06-2011).]

I know this is off-topic but I hope Cliff will understand. A couple of months ago it was announced that my Sister-in-law, was one of three nonimees for National Middle School Principal of the Year. We are so proud of her. Back then I wanted to post this link up so I could tell all of my Fiero friends about it. She's the 2nd one on the list, Linda Archambault.http://www.nassp.org/Conten...f_the_Year_Finalists You can Google "2012 National Middle School Principal of the Year" & see that is was also announced in news papers all over the country. I wanted to post this when we heard about it, but I knew it was off topic. Well, guess what, I gotta post it..... it was announced Friday......... SHE WON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She will be going to Washington D.C. at the end of the month &, among other things, will visit the White House meet the President. I didn't want to post it in O.T. because there are people that won't pass up a chance to bash Obama. Please, Let's leave politics out of this one. We are so proud. She is now 2012 National Middle School Principal of the Year ArchieIP: Logged
