I think the OP just wants to replace the crankshaft. But yes that will work.

Thank you for the input!

I did find the crankshaft on RockAuto and AutoZone but both places are out of stock. AutoZone shows it in stock but when you add it to your cart, you get the "Item not available" message.

I did however find a replacement on https://proenginerebuilders.com - it's a little more pricey but hey, better than nothing!

You might try these guys:

They've taken heat for their 3.4 short block conversion but for a reconditioned crank, they might be fine.

Hey hey!

So I got my replacement crankshaft from this link https://engine-parts.com/pr...2-8l-crankshaft-kit/

and it looks good but I noticed something that I wasn't sure about and wanted to ask yall





The top crank is the old Fiero crank while the bottom one is the new one. It doesn't appear like that part is held in by anything other than friction so would I be able to just pull/wedge it out?

If so - anyone got tips on removing the pin from the old crank and installing it on the new one?

Thanks!
