Well I just spent the last hour or so catching up on this thread. Still impressed with all the work that you have in this car Joe! Once again, I am inspired to motor on. I have the 2.8 out of my newly purchased 86 to repair some broken exhaust bolts in both heads. I ordered a RD drill jig. I hope it works - but if it does not, a 3.4 / 4T60 will be the plan. I will use this thread as a guide. I may have to call on your experience to get her done. Sent you a PM regarding the rest of the T Top parts.

I have never driven a 2.8 Fiero. I am impressed with the power that this 3.4 has. A 4T60 would be a good transmission for these cars. The El Paso crew did one in your shop?
Save the crankshaft sensor to fill that hole. Wish I had saved mine.

Glad to hear it Joe. Going to enjoy driving it for a while or dive into the T-Top swap?

I have things to do before I cut out the roof. Door hinges etc. I am hoping to do this pretty soon though.
