U need my old dog bone setup with the alt up high.
Me no likey the WCF dog bone in the middle of the trunk.
I currently have part of WCF DB solution in the stock Fiero location,
with a RD adjustable dogbone.

Fierofreak's modded fuel rail would be nice, along with and
PAINTED SC.

Throw on an IC when you remove the SC 4 paint.

NOSRAC,

Neither do I...please post pictures of what you have.

I also would prefer to put the alternator in a lowered position...will need bracket for that as well if I do.

Need to check with with Steven if I can relocate still with power steering pump going back in place.

And that is funny that you mentioned Fierofreak's fuel rails...because I PMed about an hour ago about a set!...lol

IC ...won't happen till next winter, but is coming!

Unfortunately...only so much time & money between now and the 30th in Indy & the game plan is for my Wife and I to drive both this completed 86GT & Barbie (88GT) to Indy for the show!

Once in a lifetime opportunity and I really don't want to miss it!

Modded Fuel Rail....I think he can make for future intercooler too.

Mstangs set me up with this type of DB when alt was up high. 88 lateral link welded to cradle and bolted to engine block. (Mattwa photo of his 4.9 DB)



I have WCF Dog Bone bracket mounted on the head placed the other side inline with the stock Fiero DB, with a Dickman Adjustable DB.
You CAN'T do a Low mount Alt with a power steering pump, but you can put your ALT in place of AC....NOT...

UPDATE: Let me share what I think is going to be a unique feature that will catch on like wildfire:

My Updated e-brake..never going to have to deal with that flimsy plastic handle again!

International Parking Brake Lever Assy #1675871C91 Navistar

You say TXOPIE has gone MAD...maybe so...like a genius!




LETS MAKE A FEW CUTS TO THE OLD E-BRAKE:


NOW LETS TAKE APART THE BOX TRUCK LEVER AS WELL:




NOW A LITTLE WELDING AND CLEAN UP AND WALA!






I will shine up the button and put a nice black leather boot with blue stitching!

What do Y'all Think?

What was that handle out of? That does look pretty cool.
