Master Tuner Akimoto Thank you I hope so I want to get back to the build free of aganizing pain

Wow. Haven't checked this for a while.
Take care, Joe. People who have never had back pain just don't understand how bad it can hurt.

Hopefully, you'll get better soon.
Cool project! Nice work!

as you can see here have started to make up the trans adaptor
out of 3/4 6061-T6 aluminum


in this pic you can see where the stock fiero slave has been mounted to actuate the porsche clutch arm finish trimming of the adaptor will be completed when all the nessesary components are mounted
space is a premmium with the water pump so some minor trimming was requiered
Bob and I spent the last 2 days getting this far work is slow but I will be getting there soon

OMFG. That looks to be one of the most interesting Motor Transmission setups for a Fiero yet. Will be very interesting to see it go.

Joe,

Maybe this isn't your point, but I don't see that you're going to be saving a lot of money with the new ignition front mounted. The distributor is going to be about +/- $300, you need to fab the gear to the intermediate sprocket, billet timing cover, (the one pictured is $160 from CHRFab), mod that for the distributor, then you have to address the fuel delivery.

If you want to go carb, the only carb intake I know of is from CHRFab and that's $525, then you have to by a carb for another $200. I don't know what the machining cost of the components would be (for someone to have it hired done) but I know that $250 doesn't go very far for precision work like this. That makes the total cost around $1435.

You can buy the Holley Commander system, Plug and Play, from CHRFab for $1,495.

I certainly understand if you're doing this just because it's fun and you want to, more power to you, but I saw a couple of posts talking about this being an economical alternative and I don't see it being one (not to mention I can't imagine the distributor front mounted fitting in a transverse installation anyway, but it could be made to run off the WP drive possible).

jstricker

as you can see here is the front drive dist cost for every thing $400 can.

as for the fuel system i made my own manifold

and set it up with DELLORTOS

thats one carb per cylinder as dellortos are 2carbs with a common float bowl
as each carb has its own settings for each barrel cost $400.can

CHFAB these parts would cost me (manifold 650 US thats 990 can. ignition HPV! 600 thats 940.can.
by the time I get them so I have saved plenty
and to use Design ! Nstar setup thats 3000+ no thanks
