87 GT 5-speed
I've been kicking around the idea of a swap for many years now but the stock motor just keeps kicking. Well, before I put it away this year I started noticing that the clutch was starting to slip and this gave me an excuse for a swap. I've read countless threads over the years but just kind of wanted to do a little checklist for myself, please contribute because I'm sure I've missed things.
In no order at all:
-In search of the donor 3800 from a 2000 GTP. I definitely want a series 2/OBD II and from what I've read this motor has the best oil filter placement.
-Keeping stock trans using a spec stage 3+ clutch and camaro flywheel (machined to .840)
-Hoping to use Sinister (darth fiero) for tuning and outsourcing the harness (would like plug and play); phonedawgz??
-ZZP for any HP adders
-West Coast Fieros for motor mounts or may fab my own
-Keeping stock 3800 belt arrangement with idler pulleys replacing PS an A/C. Doing this for ease of belt purchasing in future.
-mounting the coil near battery or in place of and putting battery in trunk. ECM going in the stock Fiero location.
-Exhaust is up in the air, I would like to keep all of my trunk but am not not completely opposed to cutting out the bottom. Not planning on having a catalytic converter. Would love some suggestions.
Some of thing in my list are minor but were floating around in my head at the moment. Please add or correct if needed. Once I finally get going on this thing (if I have time this winter) I more than likely won't be updating this thread, it's more of a quick checklist for me to make sure I didn't forget to buy the motor

If I decide to do a build thread, it would be after the fact. I highly doubt I will since it's been covered plenty of times and there is no need for a newb to add to the list.
EDIT: forgot to ask about fuel pumps, what is recommended? Won't be pushing the 3800 too far past stock.
