That was just in case I blew up the house or Set Fire to the car after it made me mad!

Well here are a Few Pictures. The Valve Covers, Intake, T-Stat housing, Water Outlet, Alt Bracket, Alt Pully, & W/P Pully are all Powder Coated with Caswell's Black Magic and Safety Yellow. The Heads are Ceramic Coated in Tech Lines Black Statin.

Your Fiero engine was never a 4.9l Cadillac V8 sporting 240HP & 325 lb Tourque either I bet

I knew that was no Fiero engine, but I was just saying the engine in mine was never that clean. I toyed around with putting a chevy 350 in it, but never got around to doing it, because of time and money. It does look good though.

Funny I was thinking the same thing... First I thought, glad to see his fiero was at least a six banger, then I noticed the caddy water pump. How in the hell did you shoehorn this thing into your plastic car?? Have you driven it yet with that engine?? It should be a rocket ship!

Looks good noob!

I have not done my swap yet. I have Worked on a different 4.9 that is terrorizing Jacksonville and have driven one that is here in orlando already and that one is a BEAST! Once I get further along I will also be posting pics of the Exhaust system, I will be ceramic coating it from the manifolds all the way to the tips. Oh yeah, btw, the 4.9 fits in the Fiero quite nicely.
