dunno,....got frustrated, wanted to go home & smoke a bowl....

easy hp and cheap is nitrous. I suggest that. Instant 70 hp. ya ya anything else is nickle & dime.... you can spend $2000 on these stupid motors and get a whole 20 more HP - YAY turbo is the only other way to go. underdrive pulleys, porting this & that, high energy CD ignition, cold air int...

well, went out to Parts Galore - coulda mentioned it was a U-Pull-It I went after work, showing up in shirt & tie....yay but, did walk the yard, found a Fiero w/4-spd. went back the next day to pull it out. got quite aways into it, but the rear cradle bolts & y-pipe exhaust bolts was not giv...

awesome - thanks again - god

thats right near my favorite bar - The Duchess - by 7 & Van Dyke - full service adult entertainment - to bad most the women be UGLY
but, being god, you know this already
:la:

well, thank god

well, still havent found one locally
so, again - WTB 4 speed trans from a V6
willing to pay shipping

poly bushings are NOT harsh or rough or anything like that. cars do ride on springs, not rubber blocks. poly motor mounts can be kinda teeth rattling, if you have a unbalanced or rough running motor. and while poly bushings may squeek, I have yet to hear it. and I do agree, even having said this - n...

Crane 272 & springs ~ $200
possible machining for spring seats ~ $50
buy a dremel & gasket match intakes, port exhaust manifolds & port the heads ~ $60
poly a-arm bushings ~ $50
bore throttle body ~ $160 daryl morse

yup - its gonna be tough to get over $2000
only another Fiero person would give you more, and most Fiero people already have a Fiero.
Hold out untill someone actually comes up the $$$ - because it is worth it - even if nobody knows it

if the case is still intact then my vote is for the spyder gears in the diff i have a 4.10 in my 84 parts car - but i'm not local yes, the case is still intact. and if it is the spider gears, I still have the diff from my previous '84 trans, which I was going to send out to get a LSD. and - KissMyS...

would prefer local

I copied this from over there because they aren't helping much. I'm getting together a list on Fiero Store of everything that I need to rebuild my front suspension. And I have a couple questions. The poly tie rod boots are $4 a pair where the rubber ones are $4 a peice. I'm on a tight budget so I w...

yup - dont need to actually mod, but at least get fresh brakes, struts & rear a-arm bushings. first thing anyone does with a strong motor is hit the freeway - and a sloppy rear end is VERY scary at even 60 MPH. takes all the fun out of a strong motor, knowing you cant even do the speed limit.

well, by looking at the excel spread sheet, yes, its the 3-4 shift that kills it. the 3.65 can hit just over 90, while the 4.10 needs a shift at 80. the 1/4 mile speed is around 90, so you can just ride out 3rd, and not have to shift. if you are hitting 100 mph 1/4 speeds, then the 4.10 should becom...

This is from memory... 3.65 4 spd near a full second faster than getrag 4.10 4 spd 1/2 second faster i think it ran 14.2 with the getrag, 13.7 with 4.10 and 13.3 with the 3.65 i was modeling my car. JUST FROM MEMORY DONT QUOTE ME you've been quoted anyways, why would this be? thats goes against mos...

stronger case - I blew the '84 case apart.
the taller 1st is nice, dont care that much - its still gonna be short.
and, I want the 4.10 gearing - its not a freeway car, barely ever get over 60 MPH.
and yes, I want to dive into a trans. fresh seals, bearings & bushings.

I split the case on my '84 4-spd with 4.10 final drive.
I now got a '85 4-spd. can I use the 4.10 ring & pinion gears and move them into the '85 trans? I have heard that all the gears of the 4-spd are interchangable, but just wanna make sure before I go and tear into it.

I do beleive your chain has been yanked. :bootyshake:
Beretta brakes is just another name for GrandAm brakes.....
