I have two sets of Auto and Manual axles. The car is a stick so i will need a shifter and cables? what all parts are involved with swapping to a auto.


Thanks again Guys for your help. I helped do my Formula but this is the first on a 3800.

Looking at your picture it looks like the run to the TPS/MAF/IAC is close to the exhaust. I would think you would want it farther away. Maybe it's just down there because of how it's hanging and you planned to put it up higher once it's in the car.

On many stock 3800's GM put a 'heat shield" around the CTS. I would think you would want to keep all wires at least that far away from the exhaust if not further.

Yeah. Its hanging down I wasn't sure of the routing so I made It a little long. I wanted to keep mods possible in the future, Like the plate for the throttle body and possibly a different throttle body.

I scored the 4 cyl accelerator cable cheap. An auto shifter, auto shifter cable, a 4 cyl TV cable which is for sale now and a center console no cracks or distortions.

If you dump the BBV, you can route the wires back that way.

I'm leaning that way. But I want to read the book first on its function.

I've read a lot of threads and everyone says the 87 88 4 banger throttle cable is a direct fit. mine has the extra bell-crank swage on it and it is an 88 cable. Before i go cutting anything i want to make sure it will work OK or that I am not destroying a cable that's worth more as is.



These are examples of how it was on the car it came from.
These are pics of the Indy Fiero #162.

The boost bypass valve usually gets deleted. I see yours is still on.

Many builders decide to locate the MAP and EVAP Purge valves on the transmission instead on top of the valve cover to keep the top of the engine cleaner. Where you locate them is personal choice of course.





Now you've got me rethinking the MAP and EVAP purge solenoid too.

I put the Auto shifter in.




I want to leave the clutch pedal system in tact. Im thinking the car would be more versatile to future owners. However I have been toying with the idea of putting the muncie 4 speed in my 3.4 PR formula. What do you guys usually do?

I stripped all the insulation and extra stuff out of the engine compartment today. I also got the tank out. It looks good inside no rust that I could tell.
