that car is going to scream, cant wait to see it finished and see some 1/4 mile times. Lots of work here, something i NEVER would have thought to do

I do like the way you have stretched the fram, looks nicely done. Something I always thought about the fiero was that it wasnt quite long enough in the wheelbase, I bet its going to improve in handling a little as well

i still dont see the reason for the effort.
why add 12 inches unless you were gonna add it to the cab? I would rather have 12 more inches of storage than that, but thats me.

good luck on on your crazy ass project.

What material did you use for the spacers between the carb's and the modded intake?

The extra 12" is to accommodate the engine/transaxle which will be mounted longitudinally. Stay tuned.

OK then... when putting massive amounts of power into a stock Fiero setup, transmissions are notorious for breaking under high HP/TQ stresses. On the other hand, the porsche transaxle setup (which is built longitudially - front to back) is a proven high power setup. So in order to accomodate this kind of installation (N* + Porsche Transaxle), the chassis (specifically the engine-bay) must be stretched to fit.

Does that make a bit more sense then?

Hey, BubbaJoe - you should install expanded metal inside that rear extension, just above the engine. You could use it as a portable barbeque!

Just jokin.. Cool concept, looks like it's coming together nicely. Keep up the good work.

Agreed, but a reason might be warranted

...because the Caddy & Toronado trannies weigh a ton, and are all automatics! The Porsche is a 5 speed manual and is comparatively light.

Oh yeah, and 'cause no one has ever done it like this before

Just out of curiosity, why have you opted for a distributor over an electric ignition? This seems like a perfect place for something like the Megajolt Lite:
http://picasso.org/mjlj/index.jsp http://www.bgsoflex.com/mjl/mjl_edis.html

To each his own, of course. I'm all for high tech when it comes to engine management. I'd take injection over carburetion anyday! I'm on of those "kids" who thinks carburetors are too complex.

i love the strech on the fiero, the engine looks mean as hell, i dont know if youre still going to use the porsche trany i didnt read all the pages, but just a though the subaru wrx trany has a 6 speed manual and there is a kit to make the internals stronger the whole thing it probably cheaper than the porcshe oh and there is a kit to make it front wheel drive only that way you lose half the trany and the weight with it. some thing to look at.

I never looked at the Fiero as a platform for a station wagon. I will reserve comment on the appearance but I will say that it's certainly an original idea.
