$27,000? Is he on crack? I'm still calling bullshit on the power and reliability of that motor until proven otherwise.

it caught on fire on Hot Rod TV. Remember when that fiero was on the tv show and they were dynoing it but then never said what it dynoed?

Thats because it caught on fire!!

No, they showed it on HPTV. It looked like a bottle brush, and supposedly spins in the intake flow.

Sure sounds ridiculous to me.

Not to knock him, but Smokey Yunick is like the Thomas Edison of cars. For every brilliant idea he had, he probably had 1,000 more that didn't do shit.

I think it runs on 170 octane gas..

He basically just heats the intake manifold... Just think about the cars out there with intake and exhaust on the same side of the head... the "homogenization" effect would be CHEAPER on those motors and they dont do it.

Please noteâ€¦ This is not the ORIGINAL Smokey Yunick Fiero. The original vehicle (car not engine etc) was returned to Pontiac when the deal did not go thru. This car body only was purchased for Smokey to reconstruct the hot vapor fiero by installing his original engine trans and instrumentation. The gentleman we are selling the car for completed the installation and restoration. It was his understanding from talking with Smokeyâ€™s associate for over 30 years that the original Fiero body was a non MSO vehicle. The engine, drive train, tires and gauges are all original to the article. The body is an exact copy of the 84. The VIN number on the car is 1G2PM37R3GP266997 and the mileage shows 129,652 on the car, not the motor.

Yeah, that's worth $27k.

If it worked there would be dyno numbers somewhere.
