Those throttle-levers-arms and carbs remind me of my miniature ancient steammachine toy! (which btw is in a box in the attick, I have bigger toys now!)  Looks like a great "Mecano" job to hook up all the carbs. It's definately an original setup 
What material did you use for the spacers between the carb's and the modded intake?

Slater_334 The extra 12" is to accommodate the engine/transaxle which will be mounted longitudinally. Stay tuned.

OK then... when putting massive amounts of power into a stock Fiero setup, transmissions are notorious for breaking under high HP/TQ stresses. On the other hand, the porsche transaxle setup (which is built longitudially - front to back) is a proven high power setup. So in order to accomodate this kind of installation (N* + Porsche Transaxle), the chassis (specifically the engine-bay) must be stretched to fit. Does that make a bit more sense then?

Hey, BubbaJoe - you should install expanded metal inside that rear extension, just above the engine. You could use it as a portable barbeque! Just jokin.. Cool concept, looks like it's coming together nicely. Keep up the good work.
