3.4L pushrod Swap (lots of pics) (Page 62/62) vitog44 AUG 15, 12:39 PM Dave, I’m glad that I got hold of you when I moved from NY to Vegas. I want to thank you for helping me out with Fiero issues through the past two years. Your mechanical abilities and Fiero expertise is to be admired. I enjoy our conversations at the Fiero Yard and appreciate the opportunity to spruce up the engine cradle and parts before they go back in for the swap. I look forward to a faster car. Keep up the good work. vitog44 AUG 15, 07:56 PM Took some pics of the car apart and some of the new parts in boxes waiting for the transplant (conversion). I spruced up the cradle and exhaust with high heat paint, cleaned up the parts that will be going with the new engine, enjoyed watching the fighter jets flying low overhead and had a great conversation with Dave... A great day at the Fiero Shop! sardonyx247 AUG 20, 05:00 AM Poly cradle bushings installed. The block back from the machine shop. New pistons waiting to go in, this one was bored .20 over. Pistons in and where it sits tonight. vitog44 AUG 20, 08:56 PM Another glorious afternoon at the Fiero Club. Had a chance to have a chat with Dave and clean the replacement tranny. The one in the car had low mileage but was making noise and a bad TCC. Dave found me another. Before cleaning and after. lou_dias AUG 23, 01:18 PM Great thread. You should do one with a 3400 block and Camaro pistons so that people don't think it's voodoo. Since those GEN2 1.6 rockers work on iron heads, that makes that conversion about $250 cheaper than before... lyleap-gmc NOV 24, 07:12 PM [QUOTE]Originally posted by sardonyx247: Slow update on pics and only have a few. Here is a good way to get out the pilot bushing out of the crank, as Camaro-Firebirds use them and Fieros don't Tap it for a big bolt, and use a slide hammer or pry bar on the bolt. (This one got crooked after the slide hammer and it wasn't in far, but didn't matter as it came out with no harm to the crank.) Another easy way to remove the pilot bushing is to pack grease in the cavity behind the bushing. Using a rod that is a fairly close fit in the pushing drive it in, Hydraulics will push the bushing out.

Nice to see another build on the way. Notorio FEB 14, 11:28 PM quote Originally posted by lou_dias: Great thread.
