Here's my car's Curriculum Vitae.
Built in late 1997 by ACE, now defunct. I believe this to be one of, if not the first Series II Supercharged 3800 swaps ever done. I have documentation on the date, so I'd really be interested in finding an earlier one. The powerplant used was from a 97 Bonneville SSEi that had been torn down for QC off of the assembly line with zero miles. A Corvette fuel pump is installed.
The car had 130,000 miles on it at the time of the swap. The front and rear suspensions were also rebuilt at the time, and poly bushings installed. The exhaust sytem was only cat and resonators.
The car has definately had issues over the years. Due to poor mounts, the exhaust broke and the transmission had to be replaced at 30,000 miles with a new 4T65HD. The car has spent quite a bit of time at West Coast Fieros having corrections made to ACE's work, namely, relocation of the coil pack to adjacent to the battery, fabrication of torque strut engine mount, heat sheild installations, exhaust system replacement with headers and muffler.
As of today, the car is at 199,980 miles. That's an average of 10,000 miles a year for 70,000 miles on this swap.
