My 3800 swap is coming along pretty well.
I`m hoping to have it done for Ruckus in Mena, Arkansas in October.
I almost have all of the wiring harness hooked up.
Just waiting on a couple of sensors.
I need to get my AC hoses built.
I was going to go with some headers that I aquired but it looked like it was going to be a pain to get them adapted
to the Fiero because of the length of the rear collector.
I just stayed with the stock manifolds.
Just had them ceramic coated.

Nice job. You will like the swap. If you wish to improve exhaust flow consider a set of Powerlogs from ZZ performance. They improve flow the fit is good and they are not real expensive.

Thanks Dennis. I have had one 3800 before in an 86 GT.
That one had a powerlog and an undersize pully.
This one I`m pretty much keeping stock.
I like the engine / 4T65E combination.
Makes a nice highway cruiser with power when you need it.

North Texas Fiero Club is putting it on.
We have two fairly big events every year.
Round-up usually in April around San Antonio area and Ruckus in October up in North Texas.
But, to celebrate it being the 20th we thought we would go somewhere special.

Sounds pretty cool! Open to anyone with a Fiero, or limited to the club? I'm up in Tulsa, so not too far away.

Open to everyone.
We always hope to get some new faces at our events.
There have been a number of events in Oklahoma.

Rear adjustable coilovers.
I cut a 1/2 coil out of the front springs to bring my car down a bit but with these,
I can lower the rear exactly where I want it.
