Somebody's trying to hyjack my computer so I may not be posting for awhile. I've already ran all of my spyware and malware programs and even did a restore just so I could get online this morning. So if I disappear for awhile, I'll be back.

I'm making a swap kit and selling it for the 3800NA or SC engine's.  
If you get the engine, I'll put you a kit together with instructions and a list of parts you need and you can do your own swap. I've also designed a Y-pipe you can use with the 3800 exhaust manifolds and go into the Fiero exhaust system. And the Y-pipe comes in the kit. The kit starts at $800.00 and goes up depending on what you want me to furnish.

The basic kit includes all the mount Brackets, Y-Pipe, Misc. Parts, and a list of parts you can pick up at any auto parts or junk yard. Pictures with instructions on how to install the kit and a phone number incase you have problems.

I'm trying to make it affordable.

You'll have you contact Derek for your harness and programming. He gets $400 for the harness and $75 for the basic program or $150 for fine tuning plus $50 an hour for every hour of tuning time after the first hour.

(Fine tuning for one hour = $150)
(Fine tuning for 3 hours = $150 + $50 + $50= $250)   clear as mud?

ya know, I love those 3800 sc motors.... Always wanted to put one into my grand am, but too much hassle to do so from what I've read. (although I have heard the 3500 motor top end mates nicely with the 3400)

I just can't understand why a person would want to do an upgrade and only gain 20 hp. With the 3800NA swap you gain 65 hp, and a 3800SC you gain 100 hp. And that's stock hp ratings. You do a few mods and you can gain 200+ hp.

By the time you buy head bolts and gaskets for the 3.4 swap and pay someone to switch out the heads, intakes, and redrill the starter. You've spent almost as much as you would to do a 3800 swap.

To do the 3800 swap your looking at somewhere in the neighbor hood of $2500. You'll have to ask Rick what he's got in his build.

I guess it's to get the factory look.

I got my 3800na sitting in the cradle yesterday. I had it sitting in the cradle I got from Scott but nothing lined up the way I wanted it to so I pulled it and installed it on the 86 cradle that came out of the car and now everythings lined up straight and level. I'll reinstall it in the car today then its back to producing mounts and brackets for the mounts. I've got 5 sets sold and 1 set has to go out this weekend.

I've set me up a jig useing a bad 3800SC engine with a good 4T65E tranny on an 86 cradle to make my mounts and brackets. I can sit the whole setup on my workbench and work on it standing up.

I've got the swaps down to $2500 if you furnish the engine, trans., harnesses, and computer.
