Finally got the engine pulled on my project.

Been farting around waiting to pull the engine on the car, spin a bearing last summer and gotta do some rust repair so I had to pull my first engine. What a pain in the dick.

That is definitely not an accommodating workspace, but that car has to be a blast to drive. Good work getting that bastard outta there

Yeah unfortunately the garage is taken by the wife's project so I get to work in the driveway haha. It's an absolute riot, built 3800 makes for a good time.
Hopefully I can get some stuff repaired and a manual mated up and back to ripping

Is hers a 924 ?
And here I just saw some post about a HOA fining a guy $200 because his new electronic front door lock on his house was not the right color .
MASTURBATING_WALRUS@reddit (OP)
Yeah, 77 924 with dual carb swap. Picked it up super cheap and trying to get it back on the road haha.
Luckily I don't have an HOA and all the mess is tucked back behind the house, usually it doesn't look this bad to be fair, but it's been a thrash trying to get a ton of stuff done on all the cars in a short period 😅

I’ve done engine swaps in my driveway before .

X 1/9 right? Fiat or Bertone?
Entire-Extreme7327@reddit
This supercharged 3800 looks like a LOT of fun! What is the wife’s project, a 944?
Poil336@reddit
Ohhh I spy a little pulley...
MASTURBATING_WALRUS@reddit (OP)
Yessir, it's quite the handful, by far the quickest thing I've owned
Crazy83519@reddit
How quick, is quick? I love a fiero.

Butt dyno tells me high 200s low 300s hp, more than enough ina 2800lb car haha. It's quite scary in the rain

Honestly, just check out harmon.my. It’s a social app built for car logs and tracking mods. Used it to get rid of my messy iPhone notes list, plus it’s cool to see what your friends are running on their builds without having to text them for a spec list.
navlgazer9@reddit
Time for that supercharged 3800 Buick
MASTURBATING_WALRUS@reddit (OP)
Already l67 swapped haha. I just have to take it out because I managed to spin a bearing somehow 😬

Is your engine modded enough for that pulley? What size is it? 2.8"

Yessir it's a pretty stoutly built top end, unfortunately I wasn't the original builder but I've got all the documents.

My uncle has a 88GT with a 4.9 Cadillac V8 in it
It’s a blast to drive . Super fast .
Tacos_Polackos@reddit
Looks like what he already has. Definitely not the stock 2.8 in his pic.
Supermac05@reddit
Huge milestone. Congrats!

Fieros are badass. I have two friends who have LS swapped Fieros.
KittiesRule1968@reddit
Damn, I bet that thing is more fun than an 8ball and a liter of Cuervo Gold lol.
Street-Dependent-647@reddit
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing
malac0da13@reddit
Is that a Ferrari?
/s
MASTURBATING_WALRUS@reddit (OP)
Less than you can afford pal. Fiero.
TopHatTony11@reddit
Went to school with a dude who put a supercharged 3.8 into a fiero, was a little ripper. Guy was like 6’3” and damn bear 300lbs, was a sight watching him fold into it.
BlasphemousBunny@reddit
I’ve always wanted a fiero but at 6’3”, 300lbs I figured it wasn’t even worth trying to fit. Guess I’ll have to try to find one to sit in lmao
LilFunyunz@reddit
I found a guy at a car show with one and chatted about it with him because I want one so bad.
I mentioned I was worried if I would fit or not and he immediately offered to let me sit in it and see what I thought. It's surprisingly roomy for my frame. 6ft 1, 275lb and I fit no problem. Getting in and out of it is The challenge.

Mini’s are light this too, surprising amount of headroom due to mostly being a box on wheels
malac0da13@reddit
lol
Diogenes256@reddit
Not yet.
Immediate-Clock1230@reddit
That's an effort, well done!
Opposite-Ad-2548@reddit
