Thanks for all the pictures. There are two or three of us working on Quad swaps right now, but fourpoint9 is making the most progress. Here's his thread:
http://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...1/HTML/086515-2.html
He has good pictures of how he did his exhaust. He used the same kind of engine mounts you did. I was planning to go that route, but now I'm thinking I may use the stock lower and upper mounts from my '92 GTZ.
Please keep posting pics as you go.

Yeah he allready posted his swap. And as for making the most progress, I would hope so, he started a year ago, It is looking good so far though.
I just got back from taking a week off, it has been raining sideways since I got back. I haven't really wanted to open my Quad to the elements yet. I can't paint the last parts for the same reason. I did get my dash programed, and I am working on a bigger booster for it (prototype, no welding). When the rain lets up I will be posting another obsence amount of pics of the reassembly. I haven't decided on what exhaust I want to go with yet. I have to rewire the harness, figure out the fuel lines, reprogram the ECM a bit, build a trans. So I got some work to do, and crash a few browsers while I am at it.  Wish me luck.

Wish you could send some of that rain to Oklahoma. Fourpoint9 started his swap about the same time I started mine, but other projects keep popping and delaying mine. I've had to replace a transmission in one daughter's car twice, and fix a blown head gasket on another daughter's car. Now I'm rearranging my shop before diving back into the Fiero.

I got all the tools needed to rebuild brake boosters today.
This is the first one of the bigger boosters with the correct rod and not a welded rod that I made,
It is going into my Quad4 Fiero. I figure if I am going to double the HP of the duke, may as well double the brakes too. 
I also got all the jumpers set on the dash I am going to use, for the higher rev limit and 4 cyl setting.
I will post pics when I install it. The stock tach just won't go to 7400RPM

To install the seals use a block of wood and a hammer.
Seals installed.
When you install the rear main seal housing cover put on the gasket first over the two dowel pins, and add some oil to the lip of the seal, then slip it on.
The block all preped for paint, with the rain and high winds I decided to hold off on painting it just yet.

I love all the pics and the step by step descriptions. It's been four years since I had my Quad apart, and even then I only put a new head and timing chain/gears on it, I didn't disassemble the bottom end. That was almost 100,000 miles ago, so it's ready for a complete rebuild when I pull it out of the GTZ for the Fiero swap.

Two more questions:
-Where did you get the polyurethane bushing for the custom transmission mount?
-How did you make that thermostat housing?

I want this to be both pics of my swap and a how-to.

Both came from PFF member Fierobsessed.
They were part of the swap stuff I got from him.
