starting my 5.3 with pics

[Atilla the Fun]

yeah, much like that. Thank you for the pics!

That looks awful. Godawful.

Maybe, but now imagine it being the taller STi version, and having a big recessed thing behind it, for closer to 7" of vertical vent space. that should really suck the air through.

That looks awful. Godawful.

Looks like Steve Kelly got at that hood.

Spend the $300 for this hood, section it down the middle, and put the scoops close enough together to fit the Fiero hood, without having to cut into the raised bulges running along past the headlights.

Just saw an '09 STi hood, decided it's a clean idea. Check out this pic:

Finally have pics of my last progress, see here: http://realfierotech.com/phpBB/viewtopi ... 6&start=20

Found an NSX 5-speed for $800 more than I have, so I need to sell my '06 F40-MT2 for whatever offer I can get for it. It's new, NO miles or damage. I'll also include the Torrent axle and the Muncie shifter.

So what is the plan with the 88 4cyl auto cradle?

[CincinnatiFiero]

1984/8 4cylinder fiero.

I sent you that shipping quote on FB a few weeks ago btw dude, if you're back.

Your I.D. was spot-on. It was a duke/auto car. All that for $75 plus tax. I'm going to disassemble it, clean everything, inspect for damage, replace the bushings with poly, then get some steel, and make a weld bed like yours. Once the weld bed is made, I'm going to build a jig, so I can make precise copies of the cradle. I'm also going to make precise copies of the arms.
Once the first copies are made, I'll fit this original to my white '84 Fiero, then remove it and test-fit the copies.
If the copies are good, then back to chasing the Enzo, funded by selling cradles and arms.
I am having difficulty with the differences in the attachment in the top of the strut towers, I think I'll be buying 1/8"-thick steel plate, to make adapter templates. May as well sell those also, once they're verified.
I'm still needing a '94 282 for final verification of my engine-to-trans adapter plates, but once that's done, I'll post pics and start taking orders.
If those sell well enough to get me an '03-up 287, I'll do a plate to adapt those to real engines as well.

$75 for the cradle and complete suspension is a pretty good deal... glad you found one cheap.
