Looking for someone who has a Northstar/auto that I could talk with to help walk me through a swap.
TIA
Al

I have one, but I couldn't really be of much help though.....someone else did the work.

Good luck with the project, Northstars are fun in a Fiero!

What do you need to know?

Feel free to browse my build thread, most if not all is there...

Thanks Ryan. I saw this thread a long time ago but couldnt seem to find in this past week when searching again.
The big diff from yours is mine is a 94 vintage northstar. Otherwise i'm going to go through a similar plan of attack.

Well everything will be the same except the wiring.

Anyone got any recent close-ups of Keith Huff's Northstar that we did?

Easier or Harder?

If you need any help just drop me a line. I will be glad to share any info. I built Ryan's cradle for him. I currently have my N* with auto trans and am working on another. My N* car took best re-engineered at the 20th aneversary show. I have not had any problems with the car. The N* with auto is one of the best powertrains you can put in a Fiero if you are looking for a reliable V8 that also has alot of punch and sill gets decent economy. I can give you some ideas on what parts you will need and such. Which engine are you using? 94-95, 96-99, or 2000 up.

Mine will be 94-95 auto. I like a manual tranny but for the traveling i do the auto was the only way to go.

No relation, family ties from southern Neb, spent my life in Columbus and Lincoln. I have a friend in Norfolk a little south of you.

Are you going to do the build at Plainview? I may like to come see the build at it goes along.

Got the car and everything out here in wyoming. Been here for 6 months and just within the last week found a 4 bedroom house with a 2 car garage and shop for rent.

If you give up, give me your Northstar.

Please?
