Yes those are balance shafts, becuase w8's arent well balanced with thier cylinder arrangements.

Nice W8 swap 
Now if the W-12 would fit in a Fiero engine bay?.... :dreaming: 
Dave, don't burn yourself out. You're doing a great service to the Fiero, BMW, MINI, etc. community. But you'll be much more fun with your sanity intact. 
Remember to take breaks now and then..

I was able to spend a few hours with the swap tonight and have made some progress. Here is a video taken after I finished up tonight. It was taken with a cell phone and it was pretty dark outside, but the point hopefully came across.

Hopefully I'll have a few minutes to shoot a video tomorrow...I promised my wife that she could be the first one to break something on it.

I think I missed the point....maybe it's the lack of sleep.

The car does seem pretty lively with that mill...and it sounds like a car that looks like a little sports car ought to sound.

I'm planning on posting up a daytime video soon, but I have to wait until Joey is aound. She says it is her car and I have no rights spinning the tires.
I took the last few days off to relax and I closed the shop tomorrow to play hookey and go to Six Flags. If the customers can't understand I need a day off here and there, they can kiss my ass.
The car does sound nice....very Ferrarish. The real exhaust will be getting done soon. Right now it is just a cat....soon to be no cat and just a Magnaflow.
