Sorry, I have no updates on the car progress yet. I've been working OT big-time over the last month and any spare time I had was spent on installing a new exhaust system on one of my other cars.
However, all of that has come to an end, and I've got some time off in the next few weeks. I plan on finishing up the outside of the car, and installing the front bumper. If I can get that done in a timely manner, I'll be focusing on the interior next 
My goal is to have everything done to a point so I can take the car apart and get the panels painted individually over the winter months. It may be a bold goal, but at least it's a goal

I've driven a 3800SC, and when comparing it to my 3.4L (which has a more radical cam than stock 3.4L) it is not that far off. The 3800 would blow it's doors off in the top end, ....but off the line and the low rpm torque street driving are nearly identical. I'm not a speed-freak, so most of my driving is subtle - which is why the 3.4L suits my needs.  It's a great step up from the stock 2.8L.

I'm glad to hear you're pleased with the results of your pushrod 3.4L build-up. However, you've not said anything else about the 3.4L cam you're using. Assuming yours is not the cam from the crate engine 3.4L, then out of curiosity, what are the general specs of the cam you're using (i.e., its lift, and its duration at 0.050" lift)?
 By the way, thanks for the pics re the many other aspects of your project.

I spray painted the floor pans of the Fiero last night. Looks good as new

Sorry for the lack of updates.
The last 2.5 months have been pretty awful for my family.
I've got some time booked off in the next couple of months, so hopefully I will hit this project up again.
Selfish bump I guess

I sold that way back in May on eBay.
