The white fiero was still carrying the 2.0L from the '85 cavalier, I hadn't pulled it out yet. The T/A was carrying an '01 LQ4 with '01LS1 heads and '00 LS1 intake and fuel rail.
The monetary loss of the T/A adds up to $1700 spent, while the white Fiero adds up to virtually nothing, as it was a gift, and the 2.0L wasn't worth anything.
So I won't be doing any Fiero mods anytime soon, unless the black '86 developes a major issue.
Instead I'll get to showing everyone the right way to port Vortec 350 heads, and I'll get to assembling a SBC / 282 combo for the black '86. I have a lead on an L67 from a '99 GTP, and SPEC does make a clutch for an L67/F40-MT2/camaro flywheel combo, but now I'd need another Muncie shifter to modify. The L67 is looking cheaper, and should be about 10 mpg better, but I promised to show what an SBC / MT Fiero should do in the 1/4. Maybe Tina did well enough, but her engine was a big dollar build.

stolen from your driveway at the same time? sounds to me like they were towed away.

Maybe you are on "Overhaulin" and Chip Foose is hooking you up.

Not in a driveway, but in a pasture. This is farm country around here. No way I'm being overhauled, and I'm pretty sure they're not even doing Overhaulin' any more. The Trans Am, they could do, but only a Fiero enthusiast could do a Fiero. Chip wouldn't have the first damn clue about the superior '88 cradle and rear suspension, nor doing an LS9 with an NSX trans, nor what wheels and tires I have in mind.

Chip Foose knows all.

Sucks about the stuff getting stolen.

I assume you're following up with police, asking around, etc?

Some one got screwed.....Big waste of time to steal either car. Juunkyard will give them $150 a piece for them at least.

At this point, in this area, both are fairly rare, especially the Trans Am. I really can imagine it in Mexico, however, it being a t-top version. But since the Mustang is still there, maybe it was someone who needs non-rusty chassis steel for their own Pontiacs. IDK.

Good news! I got a message that both have been located! No telling when I can hope to get them back, but they are not lost and gone forever.

I'm sure the two of these are related somehow.

Atilla: "Is this the police? My cars have been stolen!"
Cop: "Hang on a sec"
<goes up on roof of building and looks around, sees cars immediately>
Cop: "Found em"
