Real Fiero Tech

Here in BC people are already importing R34s :p.

Build thread is on 60degreeV6 somewhere. To give you the jist of how I did it, I started with an LT1 T56, bought an SFI McLeod steel bellhousing, drilled the V6 bellhousing pattern into the SFI backing plate, and slightly notched it for the driver's side starter. The bellhousing then bolts onto the ...

With my clutch I've launched at 9 psi dumping the clutch at 4000 rpm (2-stepping). With slicks on in the right conditions it just grabs; no clutch slippage and no wheelspin. The clutchnet stage 4 is rated on their website for 680 ft lbs. It does include a pressure plate with increased clamping force...

If you need a clutch that holds, get a clutchnet stage 4. I have one in my Firebird, it holds 14 psi without any sign of slipping, takes all the abuse and clutch dumps you want to do. Plus my Firebird probably weighs 1-300 lbs more than a turbo Fiero. The clutch I bought uses a 9 1/8" disc whic...

Perhaps its a manner in how some people are mounting their 3400's or what particular mounts they use, or perhaps what year 3x00 alternator mounts, might determine how high the alternator sits. I seem to recall and I think I even have pics of someone with the alternator sticking out through the deck...

With rubber engine mounts you might need a bigger notch to accommodate alternator movement, however in my experience with this engine rubber mounts simply won't do. I've broken 4 mounts since I started driving the car. The first mount I broke was the custom solid dog-bone (bolts to two head bolts an...

the 3400 and 3500 belt drive setup puts the alternator through the decklid. Using thge fiero setup keepsit all under the decklid My decklid notch is quite small... certainly not "though the decklid" https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1528472_10202329208206945_190988638...

Ironically enough nfswift's 3500 is the exact engine I put in my Fiero. Found it on usedvic.com about 1.75 years ago and had it swapped into my Fiero in about a month. It's now cammed with an F23 5-speed transmission as well. I also have a 3500 turbo in my 89 Firebird but one of the head gaskets pop...

When I went to remove the clutch line from my slave cylinder, the nut stripped even using a flare nut wrench. What I ended up doing was having an AN -4 male fitting silver soldered onto the bleeder ($20 at local shop), then I installed a Russell -4 powerflex hose end on the OEM Fiero braided line. I...
