Title: 88 GT - some assembly required
Post by: pgackerman on May 17, 2020, 07:29:17 pm: Maybe this shouldn't go in "The Market" cuz there's a guy who lives near me that is willing to spend MONEY to have someone install an almost new LS4 and new-in-box F40 six-speed transmission in his 88 Fiero GT. Here are some photos:

Anyone interested?

No comments on an LS4 and 6-spd manual?

It is awesome that someone in the area is attempting/doing this swap. Not many V8 swaps in the GFC area, it seems.

His first choice would be to get it up and running, although he now realizes he does not have the skill to do the job himself. He'll pay to have someone do the work if anyone is interested.

His second choice is to sell everything together.

Don't think there's a third choice.

Post by: GTRS Fiero on May 18, 2020, 06:23:59 pm: There are several people who could. One already declined. Most of the others of whom I know are out of state.

NoMad and mweldon are both in the middle of their own swaps. Mike_21 is doing his own restoration.

Maybe try the Fiero Factory.
