The time may have come....

I've been sick for eight months now, barely able to work, much less work on my Fiero. So here's the whole thing up for grabs if the price is right. Here's a brief overview, I can give more details on certain things if requested:

'87 Fiero GT, black over grey with tan interior.
5 speed Getrag w/ spare, ready to be cryo treated, have rebuild kit
rear subframe has been modified for LS1, and painter POR 15 black, poly subframe mounts, solid engine mounts.
Engine is a 347 cid LS6, stock crank, forged h-beam rods and forged pistons,
ported heads done by Lingenfelter, rebuilt by me, 2.02, 1.60 valves, duel valve springs, titanium retainers and keepers, cam is a Texas Speed and Performance MS3 237/242 .603", .609" on a 111 or 112 LSA (I gotta find the card to verify LSA) Engine can easily make 425-450 hp with the right exhaust and tuning. Block and heads are aluminum, ARP head studs, ported oil pump, underdrive crank pulley, I'm missing one or two sensors, engine harness has been modified by Speartech as a stand alone, no emissions provisions, ECM has a mail order tune from texas speed to get you to a dyno. I have a set of pacesetter headers, one side will work as is, one side will not, CSI remote water pump, no fittings or lines though, fuel pump has already been replaced with Walbro 255 lph pump, all AN fittings and line has been bought except for one fitting, two fuel rails included, one new, one used, red top ford fuel injectors (40#, I think, i'll have to look). Engine is basically done except two holes need taped and plugged and oil galley plug needs to be installed (I didn't have it in time for mock-up).

Car itself is in excellent condition, paint is only a few years old, small scuff on driver's door. No structural rust, just a very small amount of surface rust. I have a full set of Autometer gauges, as well as custom dash panel and center gauge panel. brakes and suspension are stock. A/C has been removed, it didn't really work to begin with. Questions? Asking $11,000, negotiable. I really don't want to get rid of it, but I don't know when I'll be healthy enough to work on it again.

I have an auto-immune problem in my intestine that flared eight months ago. I've been on immune-suppressors and steroids for most of the eight months, and started a chemo drug end of november. I only weighed 155 before hand, and I've lost 15 lbs in the past few months. It's a challenge to make it through the work day, I usually crap out a couple of hours before the day is over. Sleep is my friend these days.

Damn man, sorry to hear that. Is it Crohn's?

Hope you get better, because I'd rather you didn't sell your fiero.

Not crohns, it's called ulcerative colitis. Right now its at a point where if the current meds don't start to work soon, the affected parts of the large intestine and colon will have to be removed (which is just about all of them).
I appreciate the support, as I really don't want to sell it either.

I would also sell the rolling chassis without the engine. Make me an offer.

S8n · Post by **S8n** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 7:03 pm

People have expressed interest in the engine and chassis separately, so here's what I can do: Either everything for $9500, or:
The rolling chassis for $3500 for the car itself including transmissions, engine/tranny adapter, flywheel/clutch assembly, custom cradle with all engine mounts, custom dash and gauges, fuel pump and lines.
The engine assembly for $6500 which includes engine from fuel rail to oil pan. LS6 intake, 40# injectors, forged rods and pistons, underdrive balancer, oil pan has been modded to clear starter, but can still be used in any application.
I also have a stand-alone wiring harness from Speartech as well as the ECM which can go either way, depending on the deal.

Again, I would love to keep it, but the way things look, even if I do get better soon, it'll be at least two months before I can get back to working on it. My Mom really needs her garage space back for supplies for home improvements before then.

Thanks! I was in for an EGD yesterday, still recovering from it. Best thing cam say right now is that drugs are my friends.

All of my projects kept my spirits up and helped in my recovery because it made me get out of my lazy boy. It has been 10 years and my life is better than before.

That's good to know. These past few months have been a toll on me, physically and mentally.

Love your car....... possibly because it looks exactly like mine.

I hope you make some decent coin on this, and don't get screwed :salute:

S8n · Post by **S8n** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 9:50 pm

I already know that I'm gonna get screwed. There's really nothing I can do about it. I had surgery last week, and now I know there is no way in hell that I can finish it.
