I drove the Duke down to the shop, that thing is soooo gutless when it has a slipping clutch. 
The engine is half way out, it got cold so I came home. (I know not cold as most of you are used to)

Oh, and when the A/C is on. 
It does feel gutless, but sadly it is still faster than like 80% of the cars on the road.
Duke's do have 135TQ[This message has been edited by sardonyx247 (edited 01-11-2013).]

I'm not a nice person.
I know these lines Look crooked on paper, but I swear I've got them straight in my head.

I have been helping on a couple other projects and working alot this past week.
I have a bunch to do on the Fiero itself, not all related to the Quad Swap.

Here are some more pics.
I have been sick, progress is slow.
The Duke that the Quad is replacing, still in the Fiero.
The PO of this Fiero put in bigger cradle bolts that jamed in the bushings.
I took off the fender to get good access to the bolt, I took off the weight off the bolt, ( by jacking the car untill I saw the bolt move in the hole) then an air hammer made quick work of the bolts.
Now there is a hole.
When you lift the Fiero, make sure to use the built in "strut tower support".
With a chain it makes a great lift point.
Here are some side by side shots.

What are you doing with the Duke anyways? If you're prepared to ship I could sure use that air cleaner housing...

If you need parts we have tons of parts and we ship too.
(PM me for parts requests as not to clutter this thread)
I don't know what to do with the duke yet, it is a good running engine.
I'm sure it will end up in some car/Fiero.

How long do you think until she's running? Looks great. Can I ask what did you paint your cradle with?
