So what's next Joe? Maybe a 3.4? Sorry to hear your 4.9 treated you so badly!
P.S. Did that hinge show up?

I have sold almost everything I had obtained for the 4.9 swap. The wife wasn't to happy with the exhaust leval anyway. I am gonna put a 2.8 in there for now. Might switch to a 3.4 a little later on.
Hinge was in the mail today. Thanks for the speedy service !

Got the rear roof and upper rear fender section off of the body this morning. I am gonna get the painting done until I get a power plant and get it back in the car. I hate sanding body panels.

immensly sorry to read about your trouble on this one Joe.
That seems like a good deal on a low mileage 3.4... especially if all the accesories are there.

really really sad to see the 4.9 go  with all the little detail you have done and items you put on it. not only that but the time you also put into it. i love your build post and started reading it when it was on page 3. keep the pics and info coming!

No need to be so sad, because it's actually not "going away". Well that specific 4.9 did, but I bought most all the swap parts and they will live on in a different Fiero with a different 4.9.

Hello, I bought my 86 2m4 last year. it is an automatic. I saved it from the scrap yard and it has been a long journey to get it on the road. It's a nice daily driver with 150K but I need some more go. I have just bought an even rougher 84 2m6 4 speed that can't be saved. My plans were to swap the 2m6 drive into my 2m4. I have been reading up on the web and the 4.9 swap has caught my eye. My question is what would be the better swap for my 2m4 auto? and is there a step by step someplace for the 4.9 swap into my 2m4. I'm mechanically inclined but the electrical is a bit intimidating. Planning on the grand am brake upgrade and power steering. I've already done a complete LED swap and customized light system but that's still pretty basic + - and relay system. never messed with an computer in a car and the gages.
