years ago, their was a car that used that drive line. It was called a "Indy Street" looked like a indy car, was street legal. It is not around any more. Should be a interesting car when you get it done.

My o5 Sebring has the 2.7 auto. Its getting close to 100K on it now and has plenty of power for a small v6. I havent had the first problem with the engine or transmission. Runs perfectly and dont use a drop of oil between changes. The whole car has been great. All its had done since new is new heater fan resistor, and a few batteries. Its still got the original brakes and tires that are in excellent condition. Suspension is still solid. Most of my driving is freeway. It gets awesome gas mileage too.

Was a busy weekend but managed to get the engine out and on the ground. It was a fairly straightforward job with just a few main wiring connectors and a couple hoses to disconnect. Started removing the interior to harvest the wiring harnesses I will need. Pulled the seats and found about $10 bucks in change and a happy meal full of french fries and other foodstuffs. You can tell a lot about a person by the stuff you find under the seats.

Next it's the Fiero's turn...... Think I'm gonna pull the rear body panels off for better access and to run my new harness. Plus I can fix my leaky "D" filler panels. Gotta cut out the bottom of the trunk to make room for the transmission and exhaust too. Any pointers to make it look professional? The idea is to keep the top half and just have a shallow trunk.

More progress today, the engine is out.





Started stripping the cradle in preparation for modification. One interesting find was a bent long bolt where the lower arms attach to the left side knuckle, the holes are still nice and round though.



The plan for the weekend is to clear the engine bay of all the wiring, vacuum lines, and insulation. Get the stripped down cradle bolted back in and start the measuring and fitting process. Maybe even get the trunk cut out if there's time. More pics to come.....

That longitudinal FWD layout looks interesting. I wonder if those cars ever came with a manual transmission?

Acura Legends utilize a similar layout, and they were availible with a manual trans.

New and interesting swaps... I love it!

If your not going to use them, I'd like to know if you would sell the P/S lines from the rack to the pump from the LH body (and as long as their not rusted,destroyed, or beyond use!).

Keep up the good work, I'm interested in this project. -Jason

Can you do me a favor? Measure the front of the crank pulley to the c/v axle. I want to see how long this drivetrain is just for future reference.
Thanks!
