The V-8 swap we are doing here is as follows: This car is a 1986 Fiero GT with automatic transmission. This car has about 86K original miles and has been well cared for. The engine will be a ZZ4 GM 355 HP "Crate Engine" Purchased new from the local Chevy dealer parts department. We are also installing a TPI Fuel injection unit with new LT1 injectors. We will do this TPI installation with the help of a wiring harness from Street & Performance. On this car we are also converting it from an automatic to an Isuzu 5-speed. So you will see that as we are taking it apart it is and automatic car but as we are putting it together is a stick shift car. This car is from AZ, was driven to the Chicago area for the swap and was driven back to AZ by the owner upon completion. (The instructions for the automatic to stick shift swap are not included in the following article)
Please note: Our V-8 Kits come with complete Video Instructions and this description doesn't cover the V-8 swap in as much detail as the Video does. All major step are covered here and as I will try to make this complete as possible, without being boring. I'm sure I'll leave out a few details.
The purpose of this article is to give the interested party an idea of what he is getting into.
