Having returned to this thread after many months away. Sadly, you were very prophetic.

When Scott (DarkHorizon) and I were tuning the car, it was a beast. When I replaced the motor after it spun a bearing it was hands down the fastest car I have ever been in. I am hoping its just trans or clutch related. TBH I am still not ready to deal with it. This whole car thing has turned into a chore and not a hobby.
I have to finish Garths 85 before starting on mine. Maybe January....

Just a quick update, I started pulling the 88 apart. I am also going to powdercoat a bunch of stuff and ceramic coat my headers, ypipe and downpipe. 
p.s. *fingers crossed* its just a clutch issue. I could use some good luck![This message has been edited by BV MotorSports (edited 12-22-2013).]

Classic good news, bad news situation with the turbo '88. Good news, my engine is not damaged. Bad news is, every single flywheel bolt backed out and egg-shaped the bolt holes. So I need an entire clutch kit. Not cheap for a L67/F23 swap Fiero. Moral if the story, GM cam bolts (ARP) are a big fail in my opinion. Use GM fw bolts.
I need to know the EXACT clutch kit and FW bolts needed for this swap. I am going to call SPEC and get their 3+ for it.
All the suspension bits are getting powder coated and new poly bushings fitted. I am also going to brace the U shape trailing arm (idea from the classic 3rd gen f-body mod). Even at 14k miles, my bushings are shot.
