Btw, if the clutch is toast, that implies to me that it ran at one point.
Whee did you find the car?

Oh wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing. This is my first fiero to have a Pennocks history. I’m excited to read the thread, and may ask you some questions down the road.

The guy I bought it from said he tried engaging it today and unstick the engine, and that’s when it broke. Not sure if that’s possible since it doesn’t run.

"engaging"... or disengaging?

Unless someone changed it, that clutch should be a $500 Spec stage 3+ setup. Hopefully you can get it separated and find out it's still serviceable.

I’m not sure, I’ll have to ask.

Wow, that would be nice if it is in decent shape still.

There was an incident with the car earlier. My dad and I were both home early, so we figured we should work on dropping the cradle.
So, we had to jack it up high. Our garage is technically a pole barn, so we can't use any sort of chain from the ceiling.
Inched it down some more. Nothing was hooked up, and just had to push the harness out of the fire wall to get it unattached from car. We started to have some issues with clearance here. We had some 4x4s on the jacks to get the car up higher to clear engine. We were able to squeeze the engine out, but lowering the car would end up being the issue.
My dad and I had to try and lower the jacks at the same time from each side. Well, one let down a bit quick and the 4x4 slipped, and the car toppled. I am a) glad my dad and I figured this would happen and were out of the way, and b) glad the car toppled the way it did, as if it went the other way, it would have messed up my other Fiero. The red car does now have a cracked rear clip, side skirt, and the trunk is busted.
This was unrelated to the fall, and you can actually see it broken in pictures previous, but my brand new dolly broke. Harbor Freight took it back no issues.
Somebody beat the crap out of the rear suspension.
She lost some weight!
Now to start tearing into some engines, and figuring out which one I am going to rebuild...

Glad no one was hurt. A cherry picker would have worked out with better results if you had one.
