FIEROFLYER thoughtfully and meticulously separated the fragile wiring harness etc from the heavy items such as the mounts and brackets, and shipped them in 2 different boxes. the rest of the parts should be in by this week
bump. ordered mustang header/modified 3800 headers & exhaust system from FIEROFLYER today. I may order a borla muffler to complete the set up ... ....clutch should be arriving tomorrow...
If some knows the correct grade and size flywheel bolts please post, very important. Do you use the 3800 bolts,Cameron bolts, or Pontiac 5 spd bolts. Etc.....

Ya I need this info aswell, I have heard that new GM 3800 flywheel bolts will work well but I need clarification on that
still waiting for the 3.8 mustang header setup to ship out. pretty excited for that!
looks like I won't be doing the swap until the end of may/early june because of time restraints.. still balancing school and work. and I want to prep the engine a bit more before I dive in. also the Fiero has been my daily driver for the past 9 months.
You need to have parts shipped from ZZP USPS/Canada post. You will get dinged for the GST and big brokerage fees from UPS, and it can add up quick. Canada Post will charge a minimal brokerage if any and GST, stuff from Summit you can probably get from JBs power center for around the same price or cheaper, and they are in Calgary.

thanks for the tip. if I need anything else I will phone JB powercenter first. I got my speakers from there, they aren't bad guys. they even screwed up and gave me better speakers than what I paid for lol.. summit shipped the parts using fedex (it was the cheapest option).
I will be following this as well! I was intending on starting this six months ago lol. I just never got around to it. Reading through your post has put me in the motor swapping mood now though.
so I am trying to figure out the best way to run the coolant system....... my car is an 86 and I need to retain the heater core. stock alt location aswell (for now)
so from what I have read, my best option is to use a modified fiero coolant neck with no return lines, run a coolant line off the water pump for the radiator, and use the two outlets on the LIM beside eachother to run heater core lines. is this correct?

Trust me when i say go with the camaro magnaflow muffler that dan uses in his swap...Mine was done by Dan and he used the mustang manifold with the magnaflow muffler and it sounds frickin mean!! Go with widemouth tips too.. I got a complaiment from a guy who rides an Aprilla bike.. And his bike sounds so sweetttt!!! He said my car sounded sweet..

Dude, think you can you post a sound clip please??
Right now my car is down due to a crapped out clutch master cylinder. But as soon as I get the parts from Rodney I will fire her up and see what I can do!!

So you don't have to cut the trunk for this setup? I heard that the mustang headers had a bit of a restrictive gap?
zzp a/c delete pulley arrived in the mail today. waiting for the exhaust system to show up. stoked!
I'm going to buy a relocating kit that puts the alternator a bit lower from mulletproofmonk so I don't have to notch the trunk and low pro trunk hinges to keep the coil pack in the stock location. Makes it look cleaner
the engine i pulled is a 2004 which has a smaller alternator/lower mount than previous years
Well that makes things nice! I forgot you had a series 3 right? I'd have to go check. Yep lucky you! I never have the luck of coming across a series 3 for that cheap
Yeah I hear those m90s flow better. I may be going to grab a motor, flywheel, FieroX motor mounts, and a programmed PCM in two weeks. Hopefully all works out.
well do to unforeseen circumstances I no longer have a viable garage in which I can do the swap in..... have an extra cradle and all the parts ready to go.... agh
