i don't know about the low budget part but it looks like it will be a nice swap and nice car looks good

Lo Budget here means money spent to get it done. I dont plan to go go with elaborate setups, ie expensive. This thread is for a swapper to follow so they can plan on how much it will cost to get it done before they start.

The work i just did on the motor is the cost of gaskets and spray paint and elbow grease.

Is this the right Oil Filter adapter (98 GTP)? Its getting the 4T65EHD, The Fiero is an 86. Ill be using my fierox mounts.



Edit; It turns out the oil pressure switch on the 98 GTP is two pin. It needs to be replaced by one from an 88 2.8 or equivalent. (3 pin for the gauge.)

I got the 2.8 engine off the cradle finally. The cradle is in really good shape for a northern Illinois car but still needs to be sand blasted. I found someone local who said he would do it cheap. I don't know how much yet, I will drop it off this weekend.

Thanks guys for all the input. I bought all the gaskets today before I was able to read this. I think I will return the oil pan gasket, but it comes with the pickup tube gasket. I wasn't able to find a part number at Autozone for the oil tube gasket, maybe I can find one at Napa.

I paid $119.00 plus tax. I did make them price match the LIM MS98014T to Rock Auto at 50.79. I paid list for every thing else. I could have gotten them to match everything else.

Oh, and I did get a tube of Permatex black silicone.

EDIT; I did return the oil pan gasket, I still need the oil pickup tube gasket P/N.




whoa i did not know you could get AZ to price match things you find on rock. i need to start enforcing this every time i go to AZ. maybe even oreillys, advance and napa will.
