Just noticed every motor pictured has the emission caped off? Does that provide better performance or is it just to keep the clutter down? Also, does it effect the reliability of the motor (I know you would need to re flash the ECM)?

I mount the coil down below on the firewall near the gas tank. As long as your ignition system is in proper order, there is no reason to worry about rain and arching wires. If your wires are shot, then yes, they are more likely to cause a misfire due to wetness. I'm very anal about my maintenance, so I don't ever worry about this.

Here is a quote in the last paragraph of this post from a swap I recently did about mounting the coils in that location...

https://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...HTML/081274.html#p22

I've been sent a few pm's telling me that the coils will short out and wires will arch out when they get old.....well, maybe then they need to be replaced, eh?

This is one of the cleanest L67 swaps I've seen. The only thing that I think wasn't perfect about it was the ignition wires, but the rest of the swap was immaculate. Don't know who's it is, only that it was at the 25th show. Absolutely beautiful.


Don't remember who's it is, but it is by far, the dirtiest I've ever seen.

Damn that is looking good.... That engine bay looks clean and tight. I love how those motors look under the hood in these cars. Also easy to get to the plugs from what I hear. Any idea what color you are going with on the car? Congrats on a sweet fiero... peace

As some of you may know, I am now the owner of skitime's 3800sc GT. It's probably about as sanitary as any swap I've ever seen, especially when you consider it was constructed nine years ago when this was not a very common engine swap. When I look at these more recent swaps, they are absolutely spectacular, but I can see many idea's that were carried over from skitime, even to this day. His method almost became the default procedure.

Today, I would have to say bmwguru Dave performs the most thought out, functional and reliable 3800 swap. He simply puts more thought into the harness, wire routing, location of the coil-pack and a thousand other details that are often glossed over.

P.O did an intricate job of modifying the hinge and relocated the mounting points on the decklid. It looks stock yet has almost a full inch of clearance. These are all part of the reasons skitime did such a nice job on his swap... a bit of a pioneer you might say.

It's running and driving, but it needs to be finished up (tuned etc). I'm hoping the end of summer for sure. I'll try to make it out to the next meet here in Houston and bring pics and such so everyone can see the progress.

Some good looking engines here but I've got to say that the nicest looking 3800 supercharger that I saw was the one in Earl Sessions (lildevil) Fiero. I could never figure out how he got that blower so smooth looking and one day I met him at Carlisle and asked him. He told me that he blasted the case clean and then worked the surfaces with a coat of Bondo all over and smoothed it out. Then Earl sanded it smooth, primed and painted it. I thought the method was unorthodox but the end result looked great. Earl is a body and paint guy so I guess this is how he decided to approach his presentation.
If Earl reads this I hope that he will post a picture of his supercharger. He has an outstanding looking car and engine compartment,
