No problem, Let me know how well it drives. If you can get a scanner to monitor fuel trims, KR, etc. I can better tune your car for max MPG, and/or performance or if you add any performance goodies such as IC, or N* TB.

I found that i need to move the motor mounts to the passenger side 1/2' to make the axles equal length. This would allow two 86 4 speed drivers side axle shafts and outer CV to be plug and play into the 4T65EHD tulips. Does that sound right?
this is my pulley clearance to the hood as it is, almost even. Whats yours?

I have been defeated. I wont have the car ready for Fierorama. The axles have kicked my butt.

I'm trying to engineer the axle setup needed for this swap. I figured there's so many people doing the swap that it would already be figured out. So many axle posts are really vague, misleading or over complicated. Keep in mind this is for the every day swap. Modding, you're on your own.
My point is that the geometry is the same regardless of how up or down the motor / trans is mounted or suspension for that matter. With the trans centered between the hubs the longest allowable axle length would be determined by the hubs at level with the tripots. Centering the trans would establish two identical axles needed for both sides. I still have to prove it but it looks like 2 manual drivers side axles with the 4T65EHD tripots would work.

looking forward to the answer you engineer up for when i do it

2 Fiero Manual Driver Side axles will work when i center up Tripots to the hubs. it has to move to the passenger side 1/2". (Fiero manual driver side axles are the same length and make up as Beretta and Cavalier driver side axles , I THINK, I STILL HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT.)

Edit; With the (GTP) Tripots centered that leaves 3/4" clearance in the bottom of the (GTP} tripots with a Fiero driver side manual axle on each side. FYI a 91 Caddy Deville driver side inner axle (2.5" between the boots.) is 14.5" just like the Fiero manual driver side inner axle and can be used to build a correct length axle.

The position of the engine at this point will not allow the GTP stock dogbone brace to line up, Youll have to make a left side brace like the WCF brace or order theirs.

I noticed that your fuel rail is in the stock position. Why not flip it around so the fuel hoses are not hanging over your serpentine belt. Just thinking safety.

I tried but the hold downs for the fuel rail are in different locations when you swap it around. How would you anchor it down?
