Purtiest Fiero engine I've ever seen. 

Thanks for the photo.  Can you put more on line with a link?

Betcha when people saw all those Fiero's together they thought,

"It's a Movement."

The one at the mountain was all I had.  The engine shot as you can see by the date stamp, was from my files.  Susan took some that might be on the facebook page.

is that a regular 2.8 with separate throttle bodies with some kind of linkage that lets them function simultaneously? does that make it better or faster? it really looks cool !!!!

There is a solid linkage between two throttle bodies.  There is one TPS and one IAC.  The benefit of these is that it it allows the engine to get the air it needs.  It's long been known that the 2.8 or 3.4 swap could perform much better if it weren't for the airflow restriction in the neck of the Fiero intake. 

With this setup, each of the two banks of cylinders has it's own air supply.

Without air supply, you're making power out of nuthin' at all....

Sorry, couldn't resist.
