Chevy 3.6 v6 engine swap (Page 3/3)
Cajun JAN 15, 08:02 PM
Don't know what else could be done to the car? I've had the GT since 1992 and have done the following mods:
1. Relocated battery to the front
2. Installed Lambo doors
3. 3.4 engine -95 Firebird
4. 4T60 auto transmission
5. Grand Am front brake upgrade
6. Big brake booster upgrade
7. 2001 Grand Prix digital HVAC controller & display
8. 2002 Firebird BCM, this gives me RAP, auto door locks, etc.
9. DIN 1 radio, GPS
10. LED lights all around
11. Custom rear light panel (Corvette style)
12. Currently working on installing a 92 Riviera digital instrument cluster
13. Mr. Mike's seat covers

Think I'm kinda maxed out!

Oh, planning on an engine swap, Chevy 3.6 plus 6-speed auto transmission

GM dropped the E in the mid 2000's(maybe early 2010's, don't quote me on it...) when they stopped making mechanical automatics.

I have pretty much scrapped the 3.6 swap idea! I still think it would be a wonderful engine in a Fiero. I was hoping for something a little complex and involved. I did not wish to modify the cradle, etc. Besides, I wanted to complete the swap within my life time!

I have moved in a different direction, I have acquired a 2008 Impala 3.5 engine & mating transmission. The hp is sufficient for my needs or desires. Besides, I have already communicated with Sinister about tuning the 2008 ECM & LCM. They can tune the ECM and eliminate the need for the BCM and other components. Much simpler swap.

Once I start the build in earnest I will post.

Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback.

Be sure to post up a build thread! there's several of us who really like the GM high feature line.
