A nice photo session might be good.

We also need to discuss a much needed swap for my car.
If i can swing the funds, i am ready to copy YOUR car



Im ready to lend a hand. I have the powrtuner so we can even live tune your car if you get a 3800 in it. BTW hows Andrew's car coming? He said he wanted me to come help with the harness but never called to set a date.

Well, it looks like this is coming out :



...and this is going in :





Seems like I just built the 3.4 and got it all working with the 7730 ECU swap, but after about 1,500 miles with it, (and that awful 125C automatic), I knew I would never be *really* happy with this car until it had the GO to match the SHOW

My son had this setup to go in his Lambo Mercialago kit car, but he has changed direction, so it's going into Dad's car now.
He was even good enough to paint the SC and some other parts a nice orange pearl high temp for me ....what a good son

With the new Fi355 Amida nose and the new "heart transplant" this is shaping up to be a car I think I can live with now....

Thats great news You'll love the 3800SC. What transmission do you plan on going with?

The engine paint is unique too!

Entire drivetrain came out of a 02' Grand Prix GTP with automatic, (< 80k miles), so I'll simply be staying auto except I'll have the 4T65eHD now.
The engine checked out great, but now has all new gaskets, SC coupler and new SC oil and a few other odds & ends that I don't recall right now.
My son even has a set of Fiero X mounts for this thing that he just bought, so it looks like all I need is axles, exhaust, fuel pump, some minor A/C hose lengthening, some harness work and a few other miscellaneous parts and this will be on the road fairly quickly.

Sweet !

Another direction with his engine choice, or another direction with the car in general, like selling it?

Either way, definitely let me know if you want help with the swap. Your welcome to come down to my place anytime and ride in my car if you ever need more motivation too.

Im thinking that car should make it to Daytona next year with the new engine no?

Just to repost some misc. stuff here to gather up a lot of work done on this car that I showed in other threads.
It probably should have been captured here, but much of it wound up in either "general" or "tech" sections, so I'm attempting to catalog all of the history of this car here as well.
