some of you may not look in the mall much so I will post it here as well. we are working on loads of custom parts for 3800 installs for the DIYers here as well.
if you need something for your project pm me we may already have it or we can get it for you.
some of what we already have.... all the mounts as well as custom low mount alt., radiators, custom cams and install kits, pullys, ss fuel lines, block off plates for the SC. custom Axles, flywheels and much more.
in the works..... headers, fuel rails, wiring harness, filler necks, and more that I can not think of at this time.
I'd like to know where that rear mesh light grill for the F355 came from, and how I can get me one. Can you get a close up showing what shape and how big the holes are?

Been working long Hrs. to get things done as of late.
we have loads of projects in the body work phaze and that makes for boring pics. so I thaught I would post something new for all of you.
we have a shop project that we are working on after hrs. we will be pushing a 3800 S2 motor as far as we can in a street car. the goal for it will be 500 + at the wheels and able to drive it every day.
some of the specs for it.
Race prep block.
Vally polished and oil return holes drilled full ARP studs balance shaft delete and oil feed blocked new oil feed to top of motor. punched out to 20 over Diamond coated pistons sealed power rings block will be machined by one of the top race shops in the south. as well as the rest of the bottom end S3 powdered metal rods
heads will be stage 3 ported and polished with Manley SS over sized valves and new seats installed. custom cam dbl. roller chain, and way more than I can list.
the motor will be intercooled with a stage 3 composit intercooler the SC and intake are ported to match.
it will be twin charged with a turbonetics T72. we will be playing with a few options to get the most reliable power from this motor but it will be all built right to take what we are going to do to it. much more to come on this one.
also we are using an F40 6 speed trans that will be worked over as well. it will take a while to get done but it will be a monster when it is.
How about an even trade for the 3800 SC engine in my black car? It should be in new condition since it has never been run since the rebuild!

As always we have had a lot going on here. we are making a lot of headway on projects but have not had time to share because of the hrs. we have been working. so here are a few pics to help update some of the projects. D.
the 78 TA is now done
the Mera 3800 swap is done and we are finishing up a few body items.
the new turbo that will be going with the killer 3800 we are building
Looking good Dean! The yellow Diablo and 355 Ferrari are really coming together nicely! More cars for your next big B-Day bash cookout Awesome turbos too. As always keep inspiring us! Cant wait to see more.
As you see, Dennis and I went up to Whodeanies last week and Dennis' car is getting a 3800 install! He has the bug! What you don't see is how many projecxts Dean has going! So I took a walk around and took some pics.
We went up for Dennis' yellow 87 GT and to pick up my 86 GT that had shocks, struts, alignment, ac service, new heater core, brake pads, and a few other bits and bobs. This will be my daily driver for awhile.
Now for the projects around the shop:
The Rottinchop is getting breathed on again...its coming along!!
That is Dean checking out the race car that was at the shop and getting it ready to sell. Hey Dean....if it doesn't start it needs gas!!! (You tell him April!) As you can see the shop is a beehive of activity!!!

Crazy around the shop as of late we have been going from 9:30 am to 7-8 PM 6 days a week to get things done. we have 4 3800 swaps going at this time as well as all the other things. we are working hard to get one done for a birthday in the next few days and the next one by the first of the year so it can go to Germany. I have not been able to get many pictures up as of late because of the long hrs but I plan to get some up this next week. D.
So many sweet rides there right now. Lots of amazing work and incredible projects. I just can't wait to get back into the drivers seat of mine! It's been far too long. I'm having withdrawals!
Hey Dean I lost count of how many Fiero's your shop has swapped the 3800 into, can I ask if you are building your own engine mounts or getting them from somerwhere else? and if your building your own.... any chance your are going to sell these as a kit?? maybe??

the Black Mera we did the swap in is now running and driving and is working well. it is going to get an alignment today and then driven for the next few days. the Yellow GT we are doing a 3800 SC swap is going back together for the last time all the wiring is now done as well as the rest of it. I will be taking the headers to get coated today and onece they are done we should have the car running.
I will try to get some pics up later today of all the projects. D.
I'm amazed at the work that the "Whodeanie Customs" performs ! Lots of cars getting engine upgrades body modifications and so on, all done with attention to detail . My car the Yellow Fiero GT is getting a 3800 series II engine upgrade (swap) and some other items like a larger brake booster, relocating the battery, and Sunroof gasket replacement..... These guys are professionals and the pace they work at is like magic! Below is a web site I made for the Fiero. Eventually pictures of the engine upgrade and a write up of the ***Whodeanie Magic**** will be added to the site...more to come as time goes by.............
I have not had much of a chance to post pics as of late due to work load but here are a few of the projects we are working on. not all of them are in here but I plan to get more this next week and post and updaye the build threads. D.
a new doner motor 99 Buick regal GS with only 74k on it.
the next 3800 swap car to be done.
almost done with this one. just a few finish items and it will be done.
Hey Dean do you have any smooth side mouldings laying around? My aftermarket rocker panels have the front/rear fender mouldings molded into the fiberglass but they're fatter than the factory pieces...need to cut them out and replaced with the right size. Thanks.
but no it belongs to a friend.
Can you get a close up showing what shape and how big the holes are?
