Hey Ryan.
I have two questions but I see that you've already sort of answered one.
1) What's the fuel mileage like on this? KM/tank average?
2) I have a factory gen 2 (00-03) Northstar here and was going to offer you the fuel injection from it. I have most of the engine wiring, intake, PCM, etc. I take it you're not interested in it?
That's all.
Have fun in Jamaica!
Shayne

Hi Shayne, thanks and nice to hear from you - I was just in Kitchener last Thursday on business.
1) The combined mileage is 15L/100km or 15mpg which gives a range of approximately 250km or 160 miles per tank.
Given it is not a daily driver and gas prices are low, this was not the motivator for going EFI.
2) I love the uniqueness of my setup and especially the sounds, however my better half doesn't like the smell 
At the time of the build, the PCM for the 00-03 wasn't Fiero engine swap friendly although this may have changed with aftermarket ECM's - someone can chime in on that.
I looked at the stand alone EFI systems but most would require another custom intake manifold and I'd have to decide whether to change my ignition system or not.
So I'm interested in what you have to offer assuming my research finds it can be used and what in addition to your parts I would need to complete this swap.
How much are you asking for the EFI components, wiring harness and PCM?

Man, I've looked, and looked, and looked for those Seville bearings.
Can't get them anywhere here in the US with the castle nuts.
I found a set of New Old stock but they had the castle nut done from the opposite side, that is, the outside of the hub not the inside like yours.[This message has been edited by IXSLR8 (edited 04-07-2016).]

Not much to update as project was just listed for sale on auto trader and kijiji in Canada.
However I did work on another option / solution for the 1988 Hub Bearing units.
I bought a pair from Rodney Dickman and modified the flange by redrilling the studs for the Corvette bolt pattern and made a concentric hub ring to go from 57 to 73mm.
So far test driving is proving it was a successful mod and this should be a bolt on solution for the future owner.[This message has been edited by Fiero2m8 (edited 01-10-2017).]

Here the pattern it you need to take the Rodney Dickman 1988 Hub Bearing unit to a machine shop to have the studs redrilled from the stock 5 x 100mm.
For bolt pattern 5x4.75" (same as 5x120.65mm) see below...

So, Ryan, how are you coping with seller's remorse?  Lol! Local buyer?
