Thanks! Yeah 5 girls...WHAT WAS I THINKING! Free time is definitely a rare treat. I was hoping to have this swap done over the extended weekend but time really got away from me. Last year I was figuring about 6 weeks for my 3.4 engine swap but it turned into nearly 4 months but ya know what they are all daddy

THANKS! I will definitely keep you in mind. I've been anxious to start this swap but my kids and I seem to be going round and round with being sick. As of right now I'm planning on using the extended Easter weekend to get it done. I did a mock repinning just using the pigtails on the clip to get an idea of what needs to be moved and where. I think I have a pretty good understanding of the process right now. I think the only questions that might come up so far would be regarding the AC hook-ups and the only obsticle I need to work out is how to mount my coil packs. I want to mount them where the distributor is located but there really isn't much there I can use to mount a bracket to hold them in place. I got my chip back from Ryan last week so I think that officially marks that I now have everything I need to do the swap!

Sent the chip out to Ryan for programming last Thursday. I got an email over the weekend saying that he received it. That said I

Awesome, I'll probably be starting my 7730 swap this weekend. While out at the salvage yard I picked up enough parts to do a second conversion. So if all goes well I'll be interested in another adapter plate. I should be a pro at this in no time.

I think at this point I'll probably just run the extra wires seperate from the main harness and try an make them as clean as possible. I really don't want to drop the engine if I don't have to. Once I'm ready to do the 4T60 transmission conversion I'll drop the engine out and rewrap the wires into the main harness to give it a more factory look. I'll definitely keep a running log on the process when I start. Any pics I take I'll post in the forum photo gallery. Thanks for pointing the gallery out, I probably would have missed it.

Thanks for the info. I got the wiring info from the web site. I'm pretty good with wiring so I'll probably attempt to do it myself. I just wanted to see if there was anyone out there that had done it and could offer any advice to someone attempting the same project. The 3.4 engine I have is already in the Fiero and running great so the timing chain cover has already been swapped out and your right there were no timing marks on it.  I did reuse the Camaro's oil pan and pump since it was a better oiling system than the 2.8's. I left the knock sensor in the 3.4 engine but it looks beat so I've picked up a new one just to be on the safe side. I believe I can also cut the connector off the coolant temp switch and reuse that to wire the knock sensor up. I guess if nobody in this forum has personally done the conversion I can log my progress if anyone is interested in it. Either way I plan on recording the process and posting it on YouTube if it goes successfully. I posted several

There is an 88 Formula with a decent amount of screen time in the new trailer for Pain and Gain staring Mark Wahlberg and The Rock.  Looks like a car...err movie worth checking out.
