they look a little cheezy, but you can buy a fiero->ferrari kit for pretty cheap, and it just bolts on

but good find either way

i suggest against the ferrari kit, it looks smashed.

Anyway great find 350 is amazing for any car, and fieros are pretty rare and only getting more so.

I've spent a bit of money on it already, head gasket($25), cylinder head($75), oil, antifreeze, oil filter, probably some other stuff I can't think of right now. Didn't cost a whole lot to get it running. Just have to work out the wiring and it will be all good. Then I need to get a job and buy a bigger engine, hopefully a 3800SC or if I have a lot of money a Cadillac northstar engine.

Edit: If I go to EB Games can I cancel the pre-order on my xbox 360 and get the money back I had on it(like $100)

Fiero's were the car that would randomly catch fire if I recall.

Fire + Plastic Car = Shrinky Dink

It was something to do with the wiring so be careful.

Something else for you to ponder too, ever seen a Fiero hit a mailbox head on? Not exactly the pinnacle of safety so I'd think twice before trying to really make it a speed machine.

However for $350 I would have snatched it up too.

the ls1 and lt1 are just the tuned port injection.
you can basicaly put it on any 350 with the same cam setup as the 350's in the f-boady and corvet and get the same results.

btw Rylinkus, do you have sub frame connectors on your Z28?

350 is a 350. Parts are interchangable. You can make any 350 FI if you so desire.

Junkyards rule. I've found so many treasures.

The seat aint bad. Aint great looking.

I think I need headers before an exhaust. Really need to take a little bit and make an intelligent decision. We shall see.

have you put on subframe connectors?

if you haven't i would highly advise it. the raw torch in the LS1 or LT1 will twist the body. thats the 1st thing i put on my formula.

and yea junk yards are the shit.
if say for instance you break your back glass on your hatch back. its cheaper to go buy a whole hatch at the junk yard than it is just to replace the damn glass.

Came with subframe connectors. Ive done nothing to the car of any real merit thus far.

And the 350 is much better sounding than the 305 or even the 427.(IMO)
