There's a Fiero across the street and the people have been working on it forever. I've been meaning to ask about it. They've been working on it way too long for it not to not be a swap or something. Here's a shitty illustration to show how it might all go down. Me being bored ftl.

So I walked my happy ass across the street finally to talk to this dude. Turns out he's working on his brothers 1988 2.8. He ripped out all the fuel injection stuff and put in an Edelbrock 4 barrel. Apparently the reason why I've been listening to him rev the motor all day is because he's tuning it. I was hoping for a 3.8 s/c swap but no such luck :(

is it atleast the manual? Cause if its auto you can tell him to tell his brother to go back to the man factory and trade in his dick for a vag.

With the options being basically only muncie/getrag trannies, he's better off with the auto. Those trannies are piles of shit, but I guess they work if it's only got a slacker of a 2.8L behind it...

The Getrag 282(in the 2.8/3.1 powered GM cars) was weak and can't really handle anything above 250ish hp?

The Getrag 284(sat behind the 3.4 DOHC) is a lot stronger, however impossible to replace. If you want to rebuild, you can pray to the car gods that you find a 284 rebuild kit on ebay, or ship it to Getrag in Germany!
