Oh Oh Oh, it came, it came, it came.

LSC Performance Flywheels came through with my NEW not redrilled 4.9 flywheel. Made from billet steel weights 15 lbs is custom made for the Fiero / 4.9 standard trans swap. They are in California.

Here it is, sorry for hte bad pics. But you get the idea of it.

First pic is front, 2nd pic is back.

I have the same flywheel. LSC Performance made mine also.
I sent them my caddy flexplate to have the flywheel made.
Which clutch are you going to use?

It was nice meeting you, FieroChic and Mrs.Fire451.
I see your webpage is back up. Can you share the link to the videos you were trying to show me?

Well did some digging around today on the motor. Pulled off a few more things that needed to come off, was on the phone with LSC about the miss drilled bolt hole. Talked to John and he is coming over tomorrow to help me with the wiring and see about the mounts for the motor. I am on my way to his place now to drop off the valve covers to get blasted so I can get a good coat of red paint on them. From what I am told they are magnesium and cant be sanded. They are light as heck though. I was amazed at the valve train set up in this thing. Really kinda neat.

I did some more working on the interior today. She is all ready for the new trans and motor now. Has the correct throttle cable and the correct shifter and cables. I need to clean everything now that it is mostly back together. Here are a few shots from Today.

about that mis drilled hole.. if its only 30thou out, dremel it so it works and then get the flywheel reballanced to componsate?
Capt Fiero MAY 24, 10:40 AM
well the amount that it is miss drilled vs the amount that I need ground is only about .010. I am going to get it buzzed out. He has asked me to please send in the enforcement ring off of my Caddy flex plate so he can figure out why this happened and make sure it never happens again. He really wants to help the Fiero community out. His price being only $245 shipped. Is the best deal going for a brand new billet flywheel.

Well

Update as well

I went to johns last night. He took my valve covers from me, I think he wanted to hit me for trying to paint them myself.

He put them into a solvent tank and cleaned off most of my red paint.
Then sand blasted them, that did not work to well.
So he hit them up with heavy duty air craft stripper.
Then back to the sand blaster
Then put a scotch Bright looking thingy into an air grinder and polished them.
Then some sort of cleaner
Then paint, and heated with a heat gun then more paint.

WOW. They are RED Bright RED. He said he was going to sand the tops of something so that they would look like the Fiero ones. This is gonna be so cool.

I got a clutch. I am kinda cheeping out on the clutch and installing a STOCK V6 clutch into the car for the time being. First off I don't even know if this will fit into the Isuzu bell housing and 2nd because this Isuzu may only be for a short while as I am still looking for a 3.32 gear set to put into the Muncie 4sp and re-install that.

I am off to the parts store today to check on and buy a few things I will be back later.

Oh boy, Wiring Started Today. Then I started checking out the oil cooler, and lastly mounted the clutch to the flywheel and test fit the entire unit into the trans axle to make sure everything was going to fit nicely. Yep.

Well the first pics are of John (FieroHut John) attacking my wiring cutting out all the bad stuff that wont be used, then pics of the stuff on the ground that wont be used. Then we moved into the garage and started un-looming the stock Caddy stuff to splice it into the Fiero Harness.

We had the hair dryer out to melt the rubber in the C500 connector in the bulkhead.

I picked up the black oil cooler from Performance Radiator in Coquitlam.

I ended with 70$ in fittings from Mopac today to adapt the Caddy fuel inlet to the Fiero lines so nothing will have to be cut. Just plug and play. Man this is starting to really come together. I cant wait to fire it up. Yaaa.

Well enough chatter here are the pics.

Question on the two last photos if I am looking at it right are those bolts holding the pressure plate also the center hole that goes over the crank shaft snout it looks too big or is it my eyes if the bolts that holds the pressure plate are long they will jam the flywheel against the engine so the have to be cut off....just an observation.
Capt Fiero MAY 24, 06:58 PM

Bonus Points for you. Yep, the new flywheel uses larger 5/16 metric bolts in it. He told me 5/16, 18 pitch bolts. I was not sure what lenght to buy so I just grabbed 1". Looks like I am going back and grapping .75" bolts. That will bring the tails in enough that it wont catch. To be honest, I dont think it would catch even the way it is. The flywheel is spaced far enough away from the inside of the engine block.

But good eye for catching that.

I have a clutch, YAAA. I have a new water pump, I have 8 new spark plugs all installed. John is 90% done with the wiring.
IT GOT HOT TODAY. We put up a tent to stay out of the sun. I am going to try and get it on the cradle tomorrow. Oh I cant wait.

Well here are the pics. John is the guy with the shirt off doing the wiring.

Fiero Hut John Working Hard at my Harness. I really want this for Arlington. He has been taking time away from the shop to come and help me. He does call himself the Fiero Doctor I wonder how much these house calls are going to cost me.
