Looks great Mitch .
Plus are you gonna repaint your valve covers and supercharger to match the paint job you are looking to get?

I was thinking about painting them black, and doing mostly black in the engine bay. That way, dirt and grease and oil won't really show up as much. When I take off the supercharger to paint it, I wonder if I should just spray over the original coating... I'm also going to replace the LIM gasket since I hear that can cause some nasty leaks. I really want to see if my flywheel is balanced correctly as well. I used a machined 3800 camaro flywheel, but after I had my swap done I read somewhere that the NA 3800 flywheel is balanced differently than a 3800sc flywheel. If that's the case I need to have it balanced. Another thing I need to look at is my flywheel bolts. I used Grade 8 bolts, but I hear grade 9 is the way to go. Maybe I need to look into that.

Man, good work, I got my Fiero back in 2010 as my first car too. Though mine was in terrible condition! Very jealous of all of the shop access you get, and very good job of a clean install on everything you have done.

Thanks!,
The shop has been a life saver. It was warm in the winter, and I had a lot of space to spread out to do the whole swap.
