Re: LZ4 3500 rod info and forged Pistons options.
Thanks for digging into all of this on these engines. Our project is still back in storage but might come in handy since these engines are so readily available in bone yards now.

Still alive yes, but due to an illness in the family the Fiero will have to wait for its turn at getting some TLC. It's in storage for now. I'll post updates when I'm back on it again.

CAD, Parametric Data, Drawings with Dimmensions of Suspension
I figured that you guys would know the best place to find this data. Where are the best links to Fiero suspension geometry in any form? I can move this info to tech links if there are any worthy. https://bloozeown.weebly.com/rear-end/category/stock-frame Is what I found so far. I know that I have se...

Re: Firewall Insulation
I have plenty of 24ga SS sheet that I'll cut to cover the rockwool. Trying insulate the heat as well as sound. The factory fiberglass has held up pretty well. It just has too many microbes, spores and fungi living in it. After finally removing all the trunk carper and lining as well you can get righ...

Firewall Insulation
What are you using for new firewall insulation? I had to remove it all due to mold and mildew from 25+ years of sitting in a near swamp. I'm using rockwool insulation and fabricating new heat shields from leftover 24ga stainless sheet.

Re: The Mule rides again (sort of) - pics.
All the auto part co's seem to be getting in on making inferior parts these day. What used to be name brands that you could count on for proper fit and durability are now are just close enough and good enough to last maybe a year. I knew people that worked at Felpro a few miles north of us just outs...

Re: 88 L36 swap
What did you use for paint?
What is all this hullabaloo about needing a bigger brake booster on the Fiero's? Up until about 10 years ago my daily drivers were all 1973 and earlier. Late 80's is practically brand new

Re: '84-'87 Rear Tie Rod Mounting Location to Reduce Bump Steer
Another question is, are there hubs off the shelf that bolt into the stock knuckles that have the same spline size and count as stock but also have a 114.3mm x 5 bolt pattern? Which leads to the next question, are there rotors that match the stock caliper locations if you swap to 5 x 114.3? Yes I kn...
