Seriously though, I really am just going to go mild on the motor (gaskets only and maybe a pulley). The wiring harness i ca do my self and the trans 4t65EHD will be redone through bartering. My buddy used to work at Maaco so I bought a new spray gun today for him to use.

MS95744 Supercharger Gasket w/2 Yellow O-rings
MS98014T Aluminum Intake Manifold Gaskets
VS50465R Valve Cover Gaskets

This is what I'm going to buy tomorrow. Is there any thing else I should get for the engine? That is gasket wise?

My coupler seems to be good.

Skip the oil pan gasket.. It wont fix the problem, the oil pan itself is the broken part. Alot of RTV on the old gasket works well enough.

In terms of the trans.. If it isnt broke dont fix it.. and if it is, get a junkyard trans.

Get an oil pump pick up tube gasket and a tube of silicone sealer for the pan gasket. If you reuse the old one, make sure to clean ALL the oil off. Silicone sealer will not stick to oil. But as Darkhorizon said, you can reuse the pan gasket as long as ALL the oil is cleaned off (needs to be rediculously clean of oil). And silicone both sides of the new or used gasket. The pan has ripples in the sealing surface from the factory, and one side of the pan gasket does not have a high protruding seal, it's almost flush with the plastic frame. So you want to use a good sealer.

Paid $500 for my 3800SC, did my own mounts, and a lot of other fabrication (exhaust, wiring, alt mount). That's keeping it on the cheap side. Aside from the engine, it's all the other little stuff like fuel lines, hoses, CA intake, and belts that adds up.

Thanks guys for all the input. I bought all the gaskets today before I was able to read this. I think I will return the oil pan gasket, but it comes with the pickup tube gasket. I wasn't able to find a part number at Autozone for the oil tube gasket, maybe I can find one at Napa.

I paid $119.00 plus tax. I did make them price match the LIM MS98014T to Rock Auto at 50.79. I paid list for every thing else. I could have gotten them to match everything else.

Oh, and I did get a tube of Permatex black silicone.

EDIT; I did return the oil pan gasket, I still need the oil pickup tube gasket P/N.

I paid 500 for my GTP too. I got the 86 GT (the motor had a rod knock, 40K MI, go figure) and an 86 SE (running with no title) for $1300. I sold the 86 SE for $400 and took a set of good BFG radial TA's off it. So $900 for the gt with good tires and spotless interior.

I have friend who has me RR transmissions so he can rebuild them in his garage. He wants me to rebuild it, $500 for parts and he will step me through the rebuild for one RR in exchange. I can work off the money, 200 for each RR. That's how I paid for the motor gaskets.

The tranny fluid was pitch black with 130K miles. Honestly, I want to take my chances with the trans as is, new fluid and filter. I drove it before i took it apart and it seemed fine. What do you guys think.

well go ahead and take off the LIM and take the TB off the supercharger and clean everything separate. It will be a lot easier.

I know your trying to do low budget but go ahead and fork over the 50 dollars for the aluminum gasket. especially if your going to continue moding it

Edited because my stupid computer auto corrects

Lo Budget here means money spent to get it done. I dont plan to go go with elaborate setups, ie expensive. This thread is for a swapper to follow so they can plan on how much it will cost to get it done before they start.

The work i just did on the motor is the cost of gaskets and spray paint and elbow grease.

Is this the right Oil Filter adapter (98 GTP)? Its getting the 4T65EHD, The Fiero is an 86. Ill be using my fierox mounts.



Edit; It turns out the oil pressure switch on the 98 GTP is two pin. It needs to be replaced by one from an 88 2.8 or equivalent. (3 pin for the gauge.)

I got the 2.8 engine off the cradle finally. The cradle is in really good shape for a northern Illinois car but still needs to be sand blasted. I found someone local who said he would do it cheap. I don't know how much yet, I will drop it off this weekend.
