No its more of the "I need to get an exhaust bypass for my Fiero now" sound.
It looked like it would be so much fun.

thats seems kinda pointless. He could have just took all the body panels off the fiero and stuck some bigger tires on it and had an instant sand-rail

I was thinking about building a Corvair powered sand rail and using the engine out of my Dad's '61 Monza. (110hp engine)
Aircooled might be a bit easier to work with on that.

Very cool, though. I've never seen a Fiero powered sand rail before.

i was thinking about doing that but decided not to because the transverse transmissions are on the weak side. i am curious to see how much of a beating that thing can handle.

That is really nice, but how do you cool it?

I have seen a few duke powered sandrails. This is the first 2.8L V6 I've seen.

Let's see, 1200 lbs? 140 hp? The 3.65 tranny?

Good grief it must be quick!

thbe radiator is behind the seats, before the motor - hard to see

low 14's maybe? Curious to know how fast that little bugger is.

I think my father and I are going to be building something just about like that this winter. Thanks to the 4.9 Project I have a donor motor for it. We also have a 4.10 tranny we'll be putting in. How would you all go about mounting it? My dad wants to use the fiero cradle, but I think that this would be a bad idea based on ground clearance, etc. How much of an angle can the axles take before bad things happen?

My thoughts exactly. I have often thought about taking the complete rear cradle and a complete front suspension including cross member, jig up hte parts that are needed to be bolted to the frame of the car, run a tube style frame between the 2 parts. Once the basics of the frame you could set it up and make it into a race car add some big wheels and run it off road. With so little weight it would be one heck of a run around vehicle.

Or he could bolt all the Fiero body panels onto the rail and have a wicked light and quick Street Fiero.
