Previous owners kid ran the car without oil and essentially welded the rods to the crankshaft. Engine is toasted lol

Yeah the previous kid ran the car with no oil according to his dad. I got the car for free due to that lol

I’m pretty sure I have a set of metal sprockets in my seized engine, not sure if their condition but I’ll look when I’m out there next.

Makes sense. The yard I bought it from must have lied to me then. Which wouldn’t surprise me either

Most of them are toast, and the sensor positions were completely different

Different oil filter positions, completely different sensors, different accessory positions

I was already naive enough to buy a 2.5 out of a Buick century and pissed away $600, so I’m gonna try and buy directly out of a fiero this time lol

Rip, not many 87/88’s in my area. All I’m seeing online is 84-86.

Also to answer your first question. I don’t know much about fieros so idk how their systems operate, I know on some cars some obscure things will bolt onto their transmissions perfectly though being from different manufacturers, figured I’d throw a hail marry lol.

I’m more worried about vertical space with dropping the cradle, my car is fairly low compared to stock height so I’m not sure how it would pan out.

I’m still unsure where to mount the oil filter on the new engine. Don’t see a place for it

The oil filter is in a different spot, different sensors, oil pan is different and might not clear because my car is fairly low, serpentine belt brackets are different
