1988 Fiero GT, with the factory Getrag 282 5-speed, and a factory sunroof. It has the original Mettalic Burgandy paint, and has roughly 112,000 miles. The car is in decent condition, but could use a paint job if you are looking for perfection. Where the paint is good it shines up well, but there are a few imperfections. The roof and decklid have faded, and there is a scrape on the front passenger side fender. No damage to the fender itself, just the paint on it. The interior is clean and complete with no warping. A Pontiac Monsoon CD Player was added, along with a short shifter. Overall I'd put the car in good condition from most that I have seen. The real gem is under the decklid.
The 3.4l Twin Dual Cam engine came from a 1992 Grand Prix GTP (210hp, 215tq), and had roughly 60,000 miles when pulled. I bought the car with the engine already swapped, but it didn't meet my expectations, so I pulled the engine out and completely redid everything. And I mean everything. Here is a list of everything that was done:
-I replaced EVERY gasket on the engine except for the head gaskets, because the compression check was good.
-I cleaned EVERY component of the engine and cradle meticulously, and repainted most.
-Engine mounts were replaced with all 3 of Rodney's poly mounts, and I added a 4th lower engine mount using a Dodge Truck Mount. I also added a custom welded dogbone (New ends), with a custom built bracket on the engine, and the stock Fiero bracket on the chassis. The engine is 5-point mounted, and doesn't move. That's more mounts than V8Archie uses on his V8s.
-The clutch is a brand new Spec Stage 3, and grabs REALLY well.
-An extra rear valve cover was used on the front, with a welded on oil fill. These along with the intakes were painted cast aluminum silver. Checking and adding oil is a 2 minute job. It also has a full load of Mobil 1 synthetic, and a Pure 1 filter.
-I added a factory oil cooler, with brand new GM lines.
-The exhaust uses stock manifolds, then leads to a 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust that leads into a West Coast Fiero Spinteck Muffler, then with dual 2.25" outlets into polished Cadillac Northstar tips. This is a sound clip of Steven's DOHC Fiero with the same exhaust: http://media.putfile.com/34DOHC-startidlerev
-The following sensors were replaced with new ones: Coolant Temperature Sensor, Throttle Position Sensor, Idle Air Control valve, Oxygen sensor, Intake Air Temperature sensor, Thermostat, Serpentine belt, and all 6 spark plugs.
-Thermostat housing is from a 4cyl Fiero, modified for the 3.4.
-Ground cables were replaced via a 4g cable from the negative terminal to the chassis, 4g cable from the negative terminal to the engine, and a 4g cable from the engine to cradle.
-The wiring harness was completely redone, and uses a brand new 9396 DOHC ECU, and a custom chip by Ryan at GMTuners (Free lifetime updates). The harness is fully functional with no issues, and all dash equipment works as designed.
-The intake is a modified 3" mandrel bent aluminum CRX intake, new filter located in the fenderwell.
-The timing belt and idler pullies were all replaced, and I added 94-95 cogs, which will make future adjustments much easier.
-I upgraded the injectors and injector cover to the 94-95 units, they idle better and the cover looks better.
-Air Conditioning was bypassed and removed. I will include every peice needed to add it back to the car if you would like.
-Cruise Control is not hooked up, but is included.
I can't remember much else. This engine swap was done RIGHT. It will not need to be fixed, just maintained like you would a stock 2.8. It runs flawlessly, has tons of power, and is very reliable. I am looking for around $6,000, and I can probably take care of shipping. The car is located in Stillwater, OK. I encourage you to follow my build thread, and please call me if you have any questions.
Thanks a lot,
