Daryl,
FYI...While coming up with a solution for a reluctor wheel.. I read/found that the E39 ecu as well as my E92 don't like low tooth count VSS signal rates at low speeds.
In case yours does the same, I found and am installing one of the 32 tooth wheels from Davis Technologies...just slightly bored out their 1.75" rings to 1.768" for the saab/cobalt axle.

Good to know! Thanks!

I did this for when I needed better VSS for my LT-1 swap. If you're interested in more info, I will be glad to share.

I finally took time to work on the 88 GT today. Had to think a bit to figure where i was in the project. I decided to do a test fit of the cradle . everything seems to fit pretty well, but then i haven't heard what all of you think . please take a look at the photos and let me know where you see the warts.
Thanks
Daryl

Fyi to Guru.
Did a fitting of the cradle today. The bolts go in fine. I'm liking how the sway bar came out. If you see anymore questionable looking things, please keep mentioning them. I appreciate the long distance help.

Access to the sway bar zerk fittings appears questionable.
Shift cables appear to have a tight bend radius coming out of the firewall -> might be bad for good shifter feel.

Zerk fittings are better than the photo indicates. Shifting? I'll let you know when it gets further along. Thanks for the observations.

What are you using for axles?
The F40 looks like it's further from the left frame rail than a typical installation. Likewise, the rear back cam cover looks closer to the strut tower than I would expect it to be, given that there are only 3 cylinders in that bank. IOW, your powertrain my be biased to the right a bit. I don't have typical Fiero cornerweights handy, but that may affect your cornerweighting.[This message has been edited by Will (edited 07-18-2019).]

I have Cobalt axles. Positioning may be slightly different than what you are used to because of how I designed the mounts. I blocked the engine/trans, suspension and axles in place on the cradle, then made the mounts. That way the axles and everything else were in the exact position I wanted before fabricating mounts.

Making sure you have symmetrical plunge clearance in the inner CV joints is what's going to dictate your left/right position of the powertrain if your axles are picked ahead of time.
Have you already run the suspension through its full range of travel to verify the CV joints look good at all positions?
