Thanks for the comment! I've put alot of work into it, since this is my first time to do a swap it's definently been a learning experience. I'm just anxious to get it in and start it up for the first time. I'll keep you guess updated!


Just got my fuel pump in the mail! but...they didn't ship my A/C delete kit which I aslo ordered from wbodystore.com lol.

Keep us updated on both the air ride and the swap. I am in the process of doing a series one swap and in a couple weeks I am going to start on a series 2 swap for another fiero. This coming winter I want to do a ride set up after I do body work/performance stuff.

FIREWALL
I know it looks bad right now, but it won't Want the engine bay to look clean and hide as much stuff as I can. I ended up cutting the trunk out, its overrated. Plus it wasn't in the best of shape. Going to paint it up tomorrow, and finish it up. Heres what I got done on it tonight:

ENGINE IS IN THE CAR!!!
Got the fuel pump and the engine in today. Everything went it pretty smooth. Didn't run into many problems, everything seemed to line up fine. I was worried about that when putting it in. Well heres the pics!

Looks good. How long did it take to put it in?

Looks nice and clean. I like the way you did the firewall. Any thoughts on making another one of those covers? I would be interested in one.

There isnt much to that firewall peice, just some sheet metal. (still looks cool though, I bet your bummed you cut such a huge wiring acess hole, you could of snaked it all under like the stock 2.8 was)

should have this running by next sunday.

Thanks! Had it on the cradle ready to go so it only took about 2 hours to get it in and lined up. I wouldn't mind making you a firewall, only thing i'm worried about is how it would line up. It took me a couple tries to get it just right. If you could bring your car to Indianapolis I might be able to help you out but...lol. Anyway thanks again for the comment.

Got the spark plug wires on tonight, and mounted the coils. Cut another hole in the firewall to fit them in. It was real fun getting to the rear plugs to put the wires on haha. Other then that I ran my anti freeze lines, connected the shifter cables and slave, and wired up a few other things including the fuel pump relay. Only one pic to post tonight

After all that hard work, the two best moments must be seeing it in the engine bay, and hearing it start for the first time. I have to give you a lot of credit for all the hard work you've done so far, thanks for taking the time to share the pictures of your progress.
