Real Fiero Tech

I just sold my centerline wheels, I think they are a bit too heavy.

I am also selling the old header, as it wont have the right flange, and I think the primary size is a little small, for the '801 head.

For the moment I would like to try and stuff my TBSS/GenIV truck intake under the decklid, but I doubt I can make enough clearance. The backup would be a BTR Equalizer, or Fast LsxR but those are spendy. It looks like this cam is Jeg's version of the GM LSX454 Crate Motor Cam. https://www.yellowbull...

Jegs had its house brand camshafts on sale. I purchased this one that i had my eyes on. PN 555-200585 Lift: 0.612"/0.612" Duration @ 0.050": 236°/246° Advertised Duration: 298°/309° Lobe Separation: 110° RPM Range: 2,000-6,500 RPM Pretty aggressive duration and a tighter LSA than most...

looks like my lost intake has popped up on ebay again. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325834880620?https://www.ebay.com/itm/325834880620?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=p2AzKGufTpq&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=RbXYYxhvRiG&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY for whatever reason ...

The lower right transmission is a broken V6 Muncie. I have 3 F40s, 1 '07 G6, 1 '06 NOS G6, and 1 '03 9-3 Aero. I have a 2 84 Perf Muncies, 1 disassembled in a box and 1 crusty low mile unit. I have 2 V6 Muncies, 1 with a broken shifter shaft, 1 working with a broken nut in the case and I have 1 high...

I dug up my parts stash and though it would be interesting the show the differences between the SAAB 9-3 F40 and the G6 F40.
No speed pickup, and the shifter is very different.
Here is the 9-3 Aero Transaxle: And the '07 and '06 G6 Transaxle:

I pulled out my Dry sump pan and tank. My pan doesnt have the mounting provisions cast in. I will need to make myself a bracket to support the cooler, if it all fits. 20230924_104706~2.jpg My tank is also the all cast syle, as opposed to the one with the plastic top half. There is probably a weight ...

Recieved the 9-5 Axles. Confirmed the match the F40 spline and diameter, and the 9-3 intermediate shaft. Outer spline matches the Fiero spline, the 9-5 hub seal diameter is different. Some time down the road I will compare the CV joints, but the fact that my Fiero axles are all GM OEM units and thes...

We have given up on LeMons racing and are only interested in Champ/Chump events.

This car is still sitting, as it has been for the last 5 years, different location now, about a 1/2 hour drive from me. I have pulled the LQ1 out of storage, and will be prepping it for dyno sessions at my work on the R&D engine Dyno, some logistics to work out. I never updated this with the fue...

Screenshot 2023-09-22 102800.jpg Here is a cross section of a LS6 block (to demonstrate the now defunct ERL Superdeck) From what I have been able to ascertain, the LS6 block and the L33 share the most in common, and the L33 5.3L has been called a budget LS6 block in the pre Gen-IV internet lore. Th...

Now you have an excuse to go dry sump! :-D Is the LSA pan too deep? Is there a reason it won't bolt up to an LS4 block? The LS4 pan is actually about an inch shallower at 5.5". About an 1" shallower than the L99 or LSA pans, but I dont think that would prevent anyone from using that pan i...

That's shown on the dry sump pan. Will it work on a wet sump pan? Further research shows that the wet and dry sump LS3 pan are different enough to not be compatible. 12624617-dimensions2 c6 ls3 wet sump.png 12664619-dimensions_lrg dry sump ls7.jpg 12664619-cooler-dimensions_lrg.jpg The Wet sump pan...

Chromoly 930 drive flanges for a type 1 and type 2 VW's are very cheap: https://kingoffroadparts.com/chromoly-930-drive-flange-type-1-beetle-bug-trans-to-930-cv-joint/ I'm not a fan of welding chromoly, but it can be done by a competent shop.

All those data points would be helpful.
of my cars, non currently have a transmission in them, and only one has the cradle in it at this point.

From what I gather, yes. But wet sump pans lack some of the mounting pads. Edelbrock's offers it in some supercharger kits, they include this oil cooler with thier kits and a special bracket for the pan rail. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-15905 https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c6-forced...

I also found a great deal recently on a LS9 coolant/oil heat exchanger.
My pan currently has a AN adapter block from improved racing, this might package better, maybe. Ill have to measure it, when it arrives.

The Iron head is with its new owner. The 2 barrel intake is lost in UPS hell, And I'm out of a fair amount of money for all of it, it seems. the label Purchased through Ebay, and lost by UPS, which makes filing a claim difficult, international support help lines, callback times, and gouging eBay fee...
