Thread: Txslow6's 1987 Fiero GT

Add the weight of a 3.8 and its transmission and its alot heavier.

But I'm not sure if thats what dark was getting at, as a after the fact that its swapped its still a 3000 lbs car.

Fieros are not much lighter than gtps... if at all....

The work I did on the engine was just to keep it running until the swap happens. It's getting a 3800 then going turbo. I see the plate on eBay to mount the turbo directly off the manifold. I'll have it welded though dont really like the bolt on design. Seems like the easiest thing to do. Any recommendations on turbo? I'll more than likely end up running a ST1 with 90lb springs. Would like to get 450+whp out of it.

Still up in the air. It will boil down to which I end up getting a better deal on.
