I will start this off with a laugh, haha LOL

Last night I was finally paid in full for a bunch of mechanical work I did for a good friend. But ohh no he has no money but lots of cars.

So I now have an 02 Grand Prix GTP 40th anniversay edition w/L67 and an 98 Cadillac Deville w/4.6 Northstar (OBD2).

The GTP is non repairable but the engine and trans still seems to be ok.
The Deville is in great shape and has been well taken care of and I am very impressed with the power and how smooth the car runs.

I might just throw on some winter tires and drive this car as my winter beater and then work on getting out the L67 and finish my restro on the GT and go from there. In the meantime do a lot of research on the N* installations.

As well I grabbed a few parts from one of my Neon SRT4 junk cars. The Seats are awesome and practically brand new w/less then 30K on them as well as the wheels have the BFG KDW that have lots of tread on them too.

Don't you mean '98 Deville... ?

That's uh... an interesting trade. The longitudinal engine Deville's are great, the older ones where the engine was mounted transversely were a pain in the nuts. But hey.. free's free. Shame the GTP is toast.

Sounds like you found the perfect power plant for your Fiero.

here is what it looks like. I will try to salvage the engine and transmission as best I can then I will check it fully over. Real hard to say at the moment if it is going to be good or not.

Yikes! Did the throttle body break away from the supercharger, or was it removed? I see it up there on the cowl.

I removed the SC but the TB was DOA.
