Introduction, TDC swap into '87 GT

Post by RamcoMachine »

Hello all,
We are Ramco Machine (and dyno), in SLC, UT, and we recently hired a new guy. In showing him around, we showed him a DOHC 3.4L V6 we rebuilt, and want to sell since the customer abandoned it. Well, the new guy started talking about how it might interest a Fiero enthusiast, and today we revealed that we have a neglected '87 Fiero GT 5-speed out behind our shop. He wants to buy it, we want to sell the '93 TwinDualCam for maybe $1,000.00, but the more we think about it, the more fun this swap sounds. Tomorrow we'll post pics of the car and the engine.

Hi,
So on lunch break, one of us signed in to here on a ZTE smartphone, tapped on reply, tapped on attachments, tapped on camera, made a pic of the engine, tapped on the checkmark, then got a message that the file was too large. This got repeated twice more before giving up. Now what?

The file from your phone needs to be resized. There is a size limit on pics you can attach. I think its around 250k or so

I've done the swap, its super easy, if you have a 5 speed car.
Wiring, and exhaust is all it really takes. all the ancillary stuff I made work with some creative grinding and pieces from the Fiero and 3.4 engine.
My engine is/was a 96.

Do you have an ECU/harness?
car.
