My HX35 failset 3800 fiero build.
using a HX35w off a 99+ (aka the fabled 58lb/m super hx35). 3800 series2 fiero swap, stock motor, stock trans, stock everything. I already went 12.2 with a stock (lightly pulley) supercharger and a tiny bit of dry nitrous.
Oil line in picture is now kevlar (wasnt leaking with rubber, just changed it for piece of mind). Intercooler setup is in the works, frozenboost are BITCHES to the max.... Ended up ordering a ebay cooler (really nice) and it just got here, in time for it to sit in the box while I am painting the car.
Current setup with 15psi and no intercooler is working nice on pump gas.... intercooler and 20+psi is going to be sickening.... I also usually run racegas often, and there is a nitrous setup still on here. If my $40 trans holds up, I might be able to slide into a high 10 at 125-128mph.

I like the 3800's, but man your choice in chassis is funky. I ASSume that's a blower intake setup with the blower's rotors removed?
I remember doing a water pump on a 2.8 Fiero and laughing bitterly about the zero clearances. Does the 3.8 help with that in any way?
Can we get more pics?

Re: My HX35 failset 3800 fiero build.
what are you doing, dh? following me around? :P
Please clean up that engine bay! Yikes.
I can't speak for the 3800 swap, but my DOHC 3.4 swap fits way better than the stock 2.8. It's a bigger motor but it takes 10 minutes to change the water pump, 60 seconds to change the belt (not joking!), a couple minutes for the O2 sensor, 20 min for the alternator.. it's just wonderful.
Fieros optimally do ~1.8 60-ft on normal street tires. 1.6 on drag radials. No joke. No traction problems with 1600 lbs static weight sitting over your rear tires, and more to come from the weight transfer at launch.

The supercharger is hogged out with no rotors/belts or anything.
