Well I turned the key switch two times to pressurize the fuel rails. I turned the key and it fired up with the first crank. I didn't even need to try it a second time. My neighbor heard the exhaust and came over to see what the noise was. I got my camera and took a 15 second movie of the fire off. It is running so smooth the engine didn't evan shake. I had the muffler off of the exhaust for this little clip. I am going to send it to Fieroseverywhere to post it up for me.
I don't have coolant, or the exhaust hooked up so that is all for now. I will start removing the cradle from the car so I can install the new water pump inlet, and finish up with the belt ideler and that stuff. I am going to change up some of my mounting brackets while it is out. We will add the exhaust on also.
IT'S ALIVE

This is the best I can do. I don't know how to do the embedded viedo on here. When Fieroseveerywhere gets home he can pull this up and do the embedded thing.

Congrats on getting it running! I guess we are going to have to arrange the swap out of parts so you can take care of all the little things. I know you must be feeling good about getting it running. Next is the spinning of wheels! Be sure to get pics of first burn out!
------------------ When life gives you lemons, thank them for the Fiero.

I ordered the gasket set for the timing cover and waterpump inlet. Also ordered the 1 1/4" coolant filler neck from Jegs E Bay site. I took the new waterpump inlet to the welding shop to have the heater hose barb removed and welded up.
29* this morning at 630am here. I did nothing in the garage. Gotta go to work now.

Great to see the progress! You're gonna love it when it's done. I took my 4.9 out for a little 100 mile Christmas shopping excursion today and had a ball.
Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

Picked up my water inlet housing at the welding shosp, and the gasket set for installing these. My coolant inline filler is gonna be here Monday. I am off tomorrow and plan on finishing the cradle drop so I can get started on the install of the new parts.
