Good news ! The cooling system is working and I got the charging system working also. The next thing I going to work on is the shifter and cables. The car was originally a auto so I already put in the clutch pedal and master cylinder. I also picked up cables from a manual fiero. I'm looking for a manual shifter to modify for this project, it doesn't have to be in good condition because it will be rebuilt and modified. So if anyone has a spare shifter please let me know. Here are some pics of the bundle of snakes (headers) in the car.
Notice the clear tube with antifreeze and a big air bubble coming out of the throttle body, I did this to see the burping process,. When the engine is running these bubbles go to the surge tank, eventually all the bubbles will go away. Then just open the surge tank and let all those nasty air bubbles escape.

Beautiful!! How much of a pain was it to get the Audi trans and gm motor to bolt up because I would love to use the 3.8 v6 but I was going for an Audi v6 just so I don't need an adapter or special starter... What do you think?

What I think your saying is that you want to connect a 3800 to a Audi transmission, right ? if that is the case the Kennedy Engineering sells the adapter for that combo. You can Google them. That was the adapter I started with because the Northstar and 3800 have the same transmission bolt pattern. Hope that helps.

I don't have a fancy shop or fancy tools. You can do alot with a welder and a sawzall when it comes to metal. The most precise thing was the adapter and I had to buy that and modify it. By the way I do not have alot of $$$'s either. For skils, anyone can learn those. And for technical questions, this is a great Forum to get them answered. This project, looking at the posts looks like I have been only working on it for a couple months but it has been about 3 years. If you have a project in mind please post your ideas and let the Fourm guide you through it. and thanks for the compliement !

I have to agree with Patrick those are some of the gutsiest mods I have soon done in a while. Doing a Northstar Fiero is hard enough compared to a 3800 or a 4.9, then you add the Audi trans, WOW, congrats on a great build. ------------------
