Quad 4 swap (lot of pics) (Page 29/31) Csjag SEP 10, 08:43 AM That picture of the motor in the car really looks like it should of had that motor from the factory! Excellent job, way beyond my skills. dbober SEP 10, 10:06 AM If memory serves me right, the high output Quad4 was scheduled for the 1989 model year. But of course, that never happened. ericjon262 NOV 20, 08:53 PM still no vid? what gives? sardonyx247 NOV 21, 05:45 AM Because I get busy fixing other peoples Fieros and forget. I will see what I can do. Will NOV 21, 12:28 PM quote Originally posted by sardonyx247: Here are a couple of updates. My last 2 fill-ups I got 25.6 MPG, (I havent checked it in months, untill now) and I took my Fiero across a scale, and it came in at 2700 lbs. How much gas? Spare tire in the front? what wheels/tires are you running? sardonyx247 NOV 21, 04:39 PM quote Originally posted by Will: How much gas? Spare tire in the front? what wheels/tires are you running? I have the stock size 15" wheels, 205/60-15 and 215/60-15, when I took it accros the scale I forget how much gas was it in, and nothing was missing from the car when I did. Will NOV 22, 06:26 PM My Northstar car was 2895 with a few extra things (jumper cables up front & similar). I do have heavier than stock wheels and tires... just wondering how a Quad4 car got 200 lbs lighter. sardonyx247 NOV 22, 11:36 PM quote Originally posted by Will: My Northstar car was 2895 with a few extra things (jumper cables up front & similar).

My GT came in around 2850ish My Quad Fiero also has man windows, man locks, I think the only option the car had was a sunroof. And it is a notchback too. Every little thing adds up. Will NOV 24, 05:41 PM A Northstar long block is about 310#. A Q4 is lighter, but I don't think its short block weighs 100# sardonyx247 JUL 06, 04:55 AM I haven't updated this, it looks like a year and a half, but no real problems for that long What a great daily driver. But I do have a bad output bearing on the transmission, so time to change out transmissions, plus I decided to go with the 3.94 final drive vs the 3.61 I have been running. And to change out the oil pan gasket, if you have the bracket that bolts to the exhaust manifold and then to the oil pan I do not recommend it, as far as I can tell it caused an oil leak. My engine is composed of a few different years so I used every bracket I had, probably a reason they dropped some of them, (besides being in different cars). Another problem I have found is the 3.94 trans has only one mounting hole for the select cable bracket, so I had to make a bracket for the other mounting point. Pics to come.
