congratulations and got some respect from a man who did such a nice project.i wish i could do the same.i leard car-mechanic but i never had the nerve to go on such a project-i only dreamed about it.how did you find out which dashboard you can take from which car and how was it possible that everything functions after build in and where did you clamp the dashboard?:)
I took a Malibu LTZ for a test drive to see if I liked the dash. I did, then got one to drop in the Fiero. It was more work insyaling the dash than the engine. I just changed what did not fit and made new mounts, for the most part the mounts are where the Malibu mounted up. I used the stock Monte Carlo electronics, gauges, HVAC system, steering columb, light switches and entire wire harness from bumper to bumper to get it all to work.
That is a gorgeous engine compartment. You did a great job cleaning it up. That engine sounds amazing and i would love to do the same to my 88' fiero.

Wow, I'm curious as to how you were able to get all of this smog legal in California. I'd love to do a swap on my 88' GT but it's quite a challenge I'm assuming.
Thats nice! that combo is ni 05-080grand prix gxp 06-07monte ss and 06-09 impala ss im going to pick up one if those combo. But my question is what axles did you use thanks.
The axles are all GM made from disassembling several different axles and using what worked to get the right length. I just don't remember what axles I used, sorry.
It is fun. I do have to be careful with it. At a 5-10mph roll I can spin the wheels and get it sideways. Cars in the lane next to me would not like that to much.
The engine is a stock CA smog legal LS4 (327) out of a 206 Monte Carlo SS. It is basically an LS1 with a GM V6 bell housing bolt pattern and mounted to the GM 4T65EHD to accommodate the transverse mounting for front wheel drive cars.
The exhaust system is custom made from 3" and 2.5" pipe and exhaust doughnuts. It has a Cat and Corvette C6 resonator tips.

If I had an LS9 I would put it in a Saturn Sky with the 6 speed manual Vette trans in the rear.
If I had 2 LS9's the other would go in a much more custom Fiero;)

I have an 06 GXP and an 86 Fiero GT, I couldn't imagine that swap. Thats whole lot of motor for such a small car.

im dying to know how much money is that all together

That is a hard question to answer.
IF I had to sell the car I would start the bidding at $25,000 as is.
I have 6 trophies with it, but I would keep them.
But MOST of that price is labor. I probably spent closer to $17,000 on it?

I have never just drove up the street and heard some one say "that sounds good"
It is a "bigger sound" than the twin cam V6 was.
