Real Fiero Tech

well, if any of you have a set, PM me a price! otherwise, old europe it is.

fieros are non existent in the yards in northwest florida, any other cars have the same axles?

do you think I'd have problems with a stock 3500 breaking them? that's the most I'd be throwing at them for a long while.

I'm going to get a reconditioned set from rock auto. any downside to this?

Whats the best source for an axle? any other cars use the same axles? are there any cheap upgrades I can do?

Thanks-

Eric J.

so in other words, I need to source a driver side axle still.

I have the passenger side axle already, so thats would be awesome is thats the case.

I finally have the transmission and related components! now for the fun part, the swap! I only have one question,


will the axles from the auto trans fit the four speed?

Yeah, I'm swapping from a 125c.

anything is possible, just depends on how in depth i decide to get with it. right now though, it's almost at the very bottom of my mod list.I already have too many projects, so I shouldn't turn my truck into one quite yet.

Does anyone know If I'll need new axles for the 4 speed swap?

yeah, the brakes are alright on mine, but I would prefer something with a little more grab, hopefully they're just a little worn, I plan to do a thorough inspection of the frontend sometime later this week.

I ment 4.10 either way, it wasn't built for gas mileage. I'd like to see how much it weighs on a scale, o wouldn't doubt it if it was over 5500 pounds.

when I said new, I meant new to me it's an 1987 Chevy R30 (1 ton rear wheel drive) L19 454 (TBI) Bonus cab, Turbo 400, 8' bed, dually with a corp. 14 bolt (4:11) it's got longtubes, and it'll have an EBL Flash board from dynamicefi.com sometime next week. other than that it's bone stock...I think. I...

I should be going to get the 4 speed on Saturday, that and a few other goodies, hopefully I can get the car going strong again. my new truck isn't exactly gas friendly.

new updates, fuel pressure: 0 psi brand new pump, brand new relay. I don't hear it prime at all when I turn the key on.

and I'm not getting a CEL key on engine off again. I think my ECM may be shot.

so I need to check for ribs on the trans case, is it a huge difference between the two? as far as the 3500 is concerned, there's a guy running around near me with a turbo 3500 that hauls ass, and I have a few of my own little things I want to try with the 3500, if it goes boom, well then I'm out $250.

would a fiero 4 speed manual hold up to a 3500? if not, does the shifter and clutch mechanisms off of the 4 speed work on the F40?

Thanks-

Eric

finally a SES light, code 34, map value high, which would make sense because it runs better under load and when the air pressure is higher outside! now, what all could cause an above normal map reading? air cleaner is fairly new, thats about the only thing I could think of.

well, heres another update, it seems to run better when it's cooler and more humid out (after rain) still has the dead miss, but not as bad.

does anyone have a ballpark figure on plugwire resistance in ohms per foot?
