Thanks
Its a 4 bolt block bored 40 over with a port and polish on stock heads, GM hot cam and a Edelbrock 600 carb. Hooked to the stock 5 Speed. Shorty headers and Moroso spiromax mufflers. I have been told it should be making around 300 HP but I dont have anything to back that up. I dont want to add much more HP or I will be replacing the trans along with the clutch.
Its not to the point where I would want to put it on a scale but I would guess that its close or under 3000 pounds. Its a very quick car, due to the engine sitting right in front of the tires it gets great traction, I have gotten on it a few times and it just pulls the front end up and goes. The front end is an all glass replacement and is a lot lighter than the parts removed, I do have to add a different steel bumper as the stock one had to be notched, its probably enough but to be safe I will be adding a tube bumper this summer.
This is my project car, I have been working on it on and off for a few years now. I try to keep it in a running state due to the restrictions in my neighborhood but sooner or later the motor will come back out so I can clean it up and replace the clutch.
Is a fun car and I have lots of time in it, my wife bought it for me for our anniversary and I started cutting on it about 2 years later.

Thats a lot of posts in 8 years I guess
Lots of interesting engine swaps are done in Fieros
Here is what I have in my DD Fiero before I got the Vette.
The only stock car I have is our Saturn station wangon, I wonder what would fit in it.
