been waiting for updates!!! Looks as good as usual.

Any time frame for the initial startup?

I hope to pick up an LS4 soon. I don't have a truck(accord) so I need to get a hitch and small trailer.

those hinges are are a work of art. I may try to duplicate them. Hope you don't mind.

Hard to say at this point. Work is going to be hectic for the next 3 weeks so it will depend on how much time I can free up to make further progress.

I noticed the chain attached to the holes in the trunk, of this photo. Could you tell me what is going on here?

Cherry picker connects between the 2 pieces of black tape to raise/lower the rear of the car for engine/tranny/cradle removal.

same way I lifted the body on mine, the guys who use the deck latch are nuts.

Wow! I think, I have a new way to lift Fieros. I have been using the floor jack method and now that I have a Fiero with T-tops, I don't want to put any stress on the rivets. That method of lifting won't rip at the metal, in the trunk? No! I would never lift a Fiero by the deck lid, latch.

A lot of nice work. I like the detail and thanks for the nice pics of the fuel filter set up.

Do you think the Vett returnless filter can be used on a 3800 swap instead of Darths arrangement?
I read somewhere that these filters are set to 58lb's - is that correct?

I totally agree! There are a lot of things that I am changing around, after viewing this thread. As for the fuel pump, I have been wondering that myself.

If the 3800's use a vacuum referenced FPR, then they probably can not use the Vette filter/regulator. If they are not vacuum referenced, then I see no reason that it wouldn't work.
Yes, these filter/regulator assemblies are set for 58psi.
