Hey Capt, can you elaborate on this a little more? I am looking into a 1990 4.5 in a local yard, and I am sourcing parts and info for it right now. Are there special considerations for bolting a flywheel on 4.5 that are different than a 4.9??
Also, would you mind E-mailing me the list you mentioned to brian @ eckertmotorsport.com thanks, Brian |

Email sent. It was from DanFiero that I got it from.

P.S. the part numbers for the most part are Car Quest part numbers. It is some Amercian Auto Parts Supply place. I remember seeing them when I lived in Oregon but have not ever seen one in Canada.

That has been my current colour scheme. I will probably do Red and Black for the first bit and see how I like it. That Allante Intake looks Sooooo nice. That will be high on my priority to get once the car is on the road. P.S. how is the bearing working coming along.

Bought about 50ft of assorted Red Wire Loom today. I need part numbers or refernece names. IE MSD P# for wires, or just ask for SBC Wires for a Such and Such Vehicle I want to pick up MSD Blaster Coil, MSD SuperConductor Wires and an MSD Cap and Rotor for this motor. Is there any other V8 that would have nice Valve Covers. I bought 3 cans of Black TrimClad anti rust paint. 3 cans of Gloss Red antirust paint and one can of Flame Red Enamil as well today. I cant wait, I am going to go and pick up the motor tomorrow. Ya Ya Ya.

Bearing work is getting expensive for sure! I'm going to the local salvage yard this weekend looking for another 4.9. They sell complete engines for $99 you pull it. If I find one I'll replace the main bearings and connecting rod bearings in it, throw my delta cam in with a new timing chain set, install my heads and intake and use that. I'm looking at almost $800 in parts to rebuild the engine I have now and thats not including getting the cam bearings installed or the connecting rod I messed up, which I cant find. Hopefully the yard has something. I want to have this thing together before the Dells Run in June.

As for wires, just get the 8.5 super conductor wires for a V8 that you make to custom length. Thats the set I ordered from Summit. You can also modify a MSD Distributor cap for a HEI distributor to work on the 4.9. The MSD HEI coil will work in place of the stock coil as well.

Well Today is the Big Day. Camera battery is charged. Wallet in back pocket, cell phone has full charge, made sure I have some spare CASH on me. Credit car has room on it. John and I are taking his truck down to Tukwilla Washinton to get my motor. I have spoke with the wrecking yard a couple of times. As of Tuesday the motor was scheduled to be removed from the car and special notes were applied to get it removed in one piece with all the harness and everything in one big chunk nothing cut. I asked for the leading edge of the exhuast system so I have the flanges off of the headers. I will take plenty of pics and am planning on meeting up with a Jet City Fiero member while we are down there, that just happens to be doing a (you guessed it) a 4.9 V8 swap himself rushing to get it done for www.arlington.westcoastfieros.com Oh Boy, Oh Boy Oh Boy. I feel more nevervouse than a little kid on his first day of school. Wish Me Luck If there is anyone else in the Tuckwilla area that wants to join us for dinner. Probably around 3-4pm or so. 6074-807-2623 Steve is setting it up. ------------------

Ugh! What happened? My wife said you called and they did not pull the motor for you so when you showed up you only paid for it and that you went home with an empty truck. That stinks, I can not understand how that happened, sounds like you told them you were coming from Canada, didn't they say they would pull it when you called them? I feel bad that this happened to you, I hope the engine is worth it and that you do not have any issues when you install it. You've already gone through enough! Maybe we can still meet when you pick it up. ------------------
