Title: swap #15 has fired
Post by: 2ML67 on June 21, 2006, 09:37:30 pm
As it says fired up the engine today in Fiero 3800SC swap #15 runs great burped out all the nasty air in the cooling system and checked her all over. Will test drive tomorrow to see how well the 3800SC works up against a getrag. Dan

Was that the '88 GT I saw last time I was down?  What a nice car...

Yep that was her, gotta be the best shape Fiero I have ever seen plus the L67 works real nice in it mated up to the 5 speed standard tranny. Dan

I have no control over the cost of the parts all depends on cost of engine etc from wreckers. As for labour my cost for all the labour to finish the complete swap is $2,000. Dan

Compared to how much others charge plus how much work is involved I don't think $2,000 is too much to ask for a complete swap thats every thing working no hidden extra costs like some places do. Plus I have to finance my hobby and desire to stay faster than Aaron's fiero some how. Dan

I hope you didn't get the wrong impression Dan.  I think you work for cheep.

And as for faster....maybe.  But not by much and for how long?
