Rickady88GT,

Well, given that I am waiting and not getting reasonable response on just when West Coast Fiero is actually going to ship my "on the shelf" parts (GRR) it looks like will have the time to investigate the fit to see it if is feasible or not.

But, as I said, we GOFs are pretty stubborn.

And I really do appreciate your opinions and comments.

Spoon, out of curiosity, why put the pump in the trunk? Seems to me like you'd be better off with it in the frunk, assuming there's room. Shorter lines, at the very least, plus no chance of leaking on the carpet. Or is the pump too big or your frunk have other stuff in it?

(why put the pump in the trunk?)
Everyone that's seen that pic ask the same question. I had many reasons and a few more that I just thought of.
Less modifications to the front tub.
I moved my battery to under the passenger headlight so the pump will help offset some of the weight differential.
Should the pump need service I can remove it within a few minutes and swap in my spare. 2 hoses, 3 nuts & 3 power clips.
Spillage? I've only added fluid once when I installed an oil cooler in front of the radiator. Extra hose plus the cooler volume.

I've also been ask why I installed my fire extinguisher in the trunk.
Answer,,,, It has a remote activation handle in the cabin within drivers reach. The discharge piping & nozzles are at critical positions in the engine compartment. I also have a handheld one behind the drivers seat.

Wait, there's more... I've been ask about my rear scoop and how it's not functional. With the 2.8 it was not. After the 3800sc swap I made it functional. So maybe it's the first 3800sc Ram-Air Fiero. The original ducting hose from the side scoop now helps keep air moving in the engine compartment.

Thanks for your interest..
