Well it runs, I baught it not knowing if it ran. I managed to start it a few days ago and it ran great. Has a carburator on it now, until I get the fuel injection figured out.

Its sitting in my garage right now, because I am going to go through the entire drivetrain. Need to drop the engine, clean it up, run wiring and hoses. Its a mess now. But dam it runs good, just sitting and idleing.

Anyone know where I can get custom exhaust made for the car? I need it done with out CATS or mufflers. I just want straight, dual exhaust.

To tell you the truth I cannot remember off hand, I have most of them on my website, but I also have 10-15 more sitting on my grandpa's farm. Plus I buy and sell a few every week.

That is exactly the car I am looking for... gotta sell my current one first...I want one for autoX ... but I am going with the L67 a.k.a. 3800 SC V6 because it is lighter...

I'd love to see the work in progress... keep us posted... with pics, eh?

[toxshox]

BTW... where did you find that? I haven't seen one for sale around here for months.

I saw one the other day when I was at the gas station before work(in WI) and it had to have a V8 in it because the idle sounded so damn sweet on it. I was shocked I wouldn't think anyone in my area would have something like that.

They sound badass when they are modded...mostly because the exhaust has to be hacked so short...

[wa2fastcamaro]

Well I got the engine done and hope to have the exhaust done this week. Its running off the fuel injection I thought I would never get to work, had to custom make the wiring harness from scrach. It sounds like a race car now running right off the manifolds, but sounds sweet.

Should be driveable by the end of the week. Anyone know someone who car detail the car at a reasonable price. It has years of tree sap on it and needs cleaning very bad?

I'll post pictures if you guys want. Got a bunch on my web site too.

Straightline Detailing does a good job...or so ive heard

[wa2fastcamaro]

Here are some pictures of before and after of my engine. After repainting everything and a lot of cleaning it almost looks factory. I found a exhaust shop to do my custom exhaust. Now I just go to cut and buff the car to make it shine again.

The car is looking good, Mike. I told you it would run! I like how you cleaned up the engine compartment. I would have done the same if I had the time or money to work on it back then. I'm glad it's in good hands now!

Well sofar I have only put $60 in parts into the car, everything else I had from other fiero parts cars. Took a while to go through everything but it came out nicely. I just gotta do the finishing touches on the wiring harness and reinstall it and its to the exhaust shop. I am not looking forward to cleaning up the body though, that paint will take a lot of work to look diecent.
