We need a HMT fiero club.

I have a HMT sticker on my turbo fiero, you should add one vortec.

erf

awesome build. should be one hell of a ride. is the conversion just different mounts for the vortex engine? how does the trans mount up? love these cars but now that pontiac is gone there expensive... been trying to do this to a fiero for a while..... gl on your build. cant wait to see more pics/vids.

the vortec is basically an up dated 4.3 v6
the mounts for the origonal 2.8 are nothing like it so I had to design and fabricate everything
the trans will take some punishment but the secret is not to have too much tire... id rather
lose a bit of launch than grenade clutches and transmissions.

once rolling i can hammer it and things stay together lol

I'll pass on even remotely having something in common with your halfass build.

Aaron where can i find a post on your build up...
did a quick search and came up with way too many posts to go through each one... you're a busy guy lol

thanks in advance

Sorry, here's the build thread. I was busy, I haven't done ---- for the past year but worked and bought a new car lol. I really like the upgrades to your car by the way, I'm not completely sure what all is knew, but your hotside is very well designed, amazing how similar it is to mine, puts the turbo in nearly the same place. Your wastegate feed is in a good place, wastegate is close to the turbine, and your new exhaust is really good looking! Wish you could have kept your trunk, but for people that don't need the trunk it's 15 lbs of unnecessary weight. I always liked the SyTy's, for just 285hp they pulled like freight trains, and just exploded off the line.

This is the current N* build, friend's car and build but I did the headers:
