1987 Pontiac Fiero GT LS1 5 Speed Cruisin The Coast 2014

[@GHOSTJERKER]

With a will, a shoehorn and the grace of God you can fit a LS in anything!

[@wesleykjelsen1387]

Damn Right, America Fuck Yeah!!!!!

[@ScottieDTV]

Thank goodness!!!...lol

[@coreytheisen8674]

GHOSTJERKER yes

[@ericpierce7311]

I used to work for V8 Archie , the supplier for the engine conversion kit about 15 years ago. I actually was there and helped build the first LS Fiero. I left before the car was completed . It's always nice to see these cars running around with V8's in them.

[@ScottieDTV]

+Eric Pierce Cool....Thanks for checking this one out here!

Eric Pierce

[@04dram04]

I was just talking to Archie yesterday. He lives near me in Vegas. Working on a fiero kit, that was mine.

[@silversonic99]

honestly id prefer a high horsepower v6. i prefer the sound.

[@abnormaladventure]

Not the 1st

[@04dram04]

the pontiac vibe wheels, look perfect on it.

[@nezerac]

You answered a question a forgot I had. lol

[@AGBULLIT]

Awesome car, humble builders, I would love to own a car like that.

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree....very cool I could get a little of them in the video!!

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

I've always liked the Fiero. Its definitely awesome having the Corvette motor..

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree!!

[@JakeTheSnakeProductions]

That's about the perfect Fiero, right there.

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you liked it!

[@hawaiisidecar]

Always liked the Fiero GT. I know some people hate on it.

[@wesleykjelsen1387]

I like every car even the lemons

[@ScottieDTV]

They were fun to pick on....but really cool cars...mid engine!!..I mean you have to love that!!

[@SpudEater]

The builder is an awesome guy it seems, I wish I could find someone like that up here in the northeast

[@ScottieDTV]

They were very nice people....

[@ztwntyn8]

That is an awesome ride. Nicely done. Good find Scottie. Props to pops and daughter.

[@ScottieDTV]

Thank you...I agree...they did good!

[@thephranc]

V8 Archie makes great swap kits. The entire engine cradle comes out the bottom in one chunk.

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

[@Slowv8Fiero]

v8 archie is a hack. his v8 swap kits break transmissions and if they do make it down the track, they run high 13's in the qtr mile. His ls1 turnkey shop car ran that. That's why he went bankrupt. He built junk.

[@Slowv8Fiero]

Mcturd is a fitting name for a knuckledragger of cletus'.

[@bloodystinktube321]

Slowv8Fiero lmao, the irony of your dumb ass calling ME a knuckle dragger is fuckin staggering. 😂

[@Magnero]

mayor mcturd Hey Mayor! How you doing man. Hey, fuck this Sean bag looser.

[@scubatrucker6806]

Beautiful paint job. She done a great job

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree...Thanks for checking it out!!

[@abnormaladventure]

Fyi pretty sure my buddy nick n his robert Wagner built the 1st. We spent many school night till sunrise solving endless issues. Started as a SE lime green “mean green spinning machine” after flipping it in a Kroger parking lot it ended up in a gt. long story many motors swaps later ended wit lt1 to ls1 to adding nitros 508 dyno his dad wrote a great book about the history and full guide before the Kroger incident finishing off in hot rod mag. There where many issues to overcome from finding the right trans to cooling to breaking to getting the power down hence the nickname it got at the scca blue ridge. His dad is a fing genius and nick a amazing fabricator. Every single bit was done by them alone I learned so much from them. Book on Amazon must have if this is something you want to do. Robert is super nice and will help in any way if you need advice. Miss those long night with them. Nick n I got so good at dropping the engine we would do it multiple times a night n walk into school greasy hand and red eyed to 1st period lol

[@ScottieDTV]

lol...Sounds like a good time Brother!!

[@clarencethatcher2073]

Now!, That's the way it is done! That is the way Pontiac should have done in the first place, as a option for the Fiero . Everything looks like a factory option and natural flowing. What a great example as a goal and template for a Fiero enthusiast to go by. If you were on the fence about the Fiero, that conversion would be pushing you over to find and own a Fiero , Superfantastic work.

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad You enjoyed it!!

[@richarddobreny6664]

My god! It’s the mid engine Corvette! And maybe looks even better

[@ScottieDTV]

lol....Cool car for sure!

[@fjcxucgkhcfoj3990]

Fieros are just about the only way to have a sleeper and supercar at the same time

[@ScottieDTV]

I don't know about the supercar....But they can make cool sleepers...

[@ruwithlee1970]

LADY does beautiful work!

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure!!

[@leightonreese1832]

Love the Vibe wheels on there, real sharp

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!....Glad you liked it!

[@mathewkillinger2207]

I wanted him to start it up!! I had an '87 but it just had a four banger in it. Really fun to drive just not enough power!!

[@ScottieDTV]

I got all I could....Cool car for sure!!

[@jonboy301]

DAYUMMMM Bro, that thing look LEGITTTT! Love it man, I'm doin a LS# turbo next summer 2023. I had a '88 yellow Fiero GT. Nice ride.

[@ScottieDTV]

It's not mine...But thanks for checking it out!!

[@Rchee8]

Shout out to Ronnie Green & Thanks to ScottieDTV. from Archie

[@ScottieDTV]

Thank You!!

[@hondafan4life95]

Love your video even though it's 5 years later what was the cost to put that engine in your fiero thanks and God bless

[@ScottieDTV]

It's not mine...I just shoot the videos....

[@satchboogyfan]

Well Scottie That's awesome I've been busy But I saw the Fiero and had to give you an At-a-Boy!

[@ScottieDTV]

Thank you Brother...now carry on!!..lol

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

The Fiero could have saved Pontiac, if idiot management had let the engineers design it as a new from the ground up sports car as intended. Instead, they forced them to use off the shelf parts. The engineers still managed to make a fun little mid engine "commuter", but it could have been so much more. In 1988, they finally initiated some changes, but it was too late. Pontiac then had a second chance with the new GTO, but it looked liked shit, no soul, bland, dull. Guess they were going for "sleeper" but that failed. Then, as Pontiac was on life-support, gasping it's last breaths, the Aztec came along, placed a 45 against Pontiac's forehead, an put it out of its misery. Good job, GM.

[@ScottieDTV]

+Bigbuddyandblue lol...I hear ya!

[@conradtestamark7567]

from what I read gm did not want the fiero to compete with ford mustang,camaro,cuda.

[@bloodystinktube321]

conrad testamark they didn't want it to whoop the vette's ass.

[@JunkyardDoggs]

Well said my man...Pontiac had some punks who didnt stand up for their brand...they'll be back

[@bkehlin]

@@JunkyardDoggs Nope. Pontiac is dead, dead, dead.

[@henryyoumans]

Man that's a nice ride need you get mine road ready..

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...Glad you liked this one!!

[@HARMARSCH2]

That is very COOL!!!! I like it. It's nicely done.

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree....very nice job!!

[@krowwithakay]

Damn that's a beauty. My fiero is still running the stock 4 cyl iron duke lol.

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool..Thanks for checking this one out here!!

[@cptnsolo77]

those are 17" Pontiac Vibe wheels.

[@triforsquad856]

its true ! might come from aztec too

[@seththomas9105]

They look absolutely FINE on that car!

[@leebee816]

I'm just amazed that he was able to fit that LS1 in there

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure...

[@bartlett1389]

that is one mad bad machine and one heck of a sexy color i love that red it fits that car just right she did a fantastic job on that paint WOW!!!!

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree...Thanks for checking it out!!

[@johnallen5977]

The car is wicked awesome and the paint.job is excellent

[@ScottieDTV]

For sure...Thanks for checking it out!!!

[@connorserrano5051]

I'm about to build one of these with a 1998-2002 ls1 from the camaro ss but will it work with the stock 5 speed or what 5 speed did he use? I'm aware of the ECU needed to be changed along with the proper chassis fitting to the bigger engine.

[@ScottieDTV]

No idea....Sorry...

[@darren6915]

Now my interest is really peaked. LS fiero. Hmm I always loved the car looks wise but the performance. Everyone knows the story

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....

[@seththomas9105]

The thing is in 88 Fiero finally got the suspension it should have had from the start, not the parts bin special Citation and Chevette parts. That and the fact it was going to have a turbo, AND it finally got a 5 speed in what, 87? By 89 or 90 it would have been dialed in and a screamer. I would love to have a 88 GT with a Buick 3800 SC in it and 5 or 6 speed.

[@simonriddick]

Yeah that's really nice. Fiero was almost my first car but i had no room in it. My ls1 ta was fast enough this would fly.

[@ScottieDTV]

You know this would be a ball to own!!..lol

[@blackvan84]

cool ride there is lot of them here in florida some v8 one was v6 twin turbo sick ride

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

[@cesarpaulbcharrani7285]

THIS IS PERFECTION GM WAS SLEEPING ALL THE POWER TO THE FATHER AND DAUGHTER

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....Thanks for checking it out!!

[@superwilcox9026]

Wonder how and what trans was used with the engine sideways

[@ScottieDTV]

All I know is in the video...sorry

[@mrmadmike427]

sweeet car Scottie love it The fiero shoulda came this way from the factory... lol Thanks for posting , Brother.

[@ScottieDTV]

My pleasure Brother....I agree!!

[@NS-um8vz]

Scottie u got me wanting a fiero now damn it you😤

[@ScottieDTV]

lol..There is a danger to watching this channel....Keep Me posted Brother!!

[@jcmusco]

Nice people and they do great work. I have met them at a fiero show. I own the same car but it is stock.

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...Thanks for checking this one out here!!

[@Luisenofoo]

That car is just so amazing Scottie! Love it great review by the way keep it up

[@ScottieDTV]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@teknifix]

I've always liked the Fiero. This one is great! I wonder what kind of times it can pull off.

[@ScottieDTV]

I would think some very good ones for a Fiero...lol

[@sew04ss]

The 2020 corvette reached back for advice

[@ScottieDTV]

lol

[@CaptainSomethin]

I own an 86 fiero with the v6 and a 4 speed, about to buy an 88 with the 4 cylinder and getrag 5 speed. Any idea if this is the stock transmission or something eles? I plan on doing an ls swap to mine

[@ScottieDTV]

I just shoot the videos....Sorry...

[@superwilcox9026]

Def not stock. The trans was made for a rear wheel drive vette. Also the motor is sideways not front to back like the vette. So how and what trans they used ?

[@jasongreen9824]

How do you cool that thing!?!

[@ScottieDTV]

All I know is in the video...sorry

[@timothycovey5169]

What transmission is in it

[@ScottieDTV]

All I know is in the video....

[@abnormaladventure]

Best one my buddy could get to marry wit it was the g60 don’t know if he found anything better by now

[@conradtestamark7567]

this fiero look awesome and cool love the rims and the engine and the color and the exhaust pipes, very nice all around car. thank scottieD for video and do you know the number the father was talking about, is it for the campony.and it do look like it came from right out of the facture.

[@ScottieDTV]

I don't.....sorry...Glad you enjoyed the video though!

[@georgehgordy1690]

There is an 88 Fiero ( only year with Lotus designed suspension ) with an LS1 in it that's super nice looking on Facebook autos I believe in KY for $12,000

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool!

[@onlineclientone1826]

THIS is what the Fiero always should have been 👍

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....

[@jmnic63]

those wheels are nice ! what car are they from ?

[@dre04mach]

jmnic63 says in the video.. from a pontiac vibe. Lol. Probably the best looking part of the vibe, on that car!

[@jmnic63]

lmao you got that right !!

[@BASSADDICT123]

b80

[@Deadbydawn71]

Cool car Scottie! I bet the daughter is a good airbrush artist....just a hunch. They both were so non shallot (sp?) about it.

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree....I would love to be able to help her get some of her work out in public....you could tell by the way she said....I'm a airbrush artist first....she has skills!!

[@supermike0822]

nonchalant ;)

[@MidnightClubsSR]

damn I haven't seen these cars in years since I was a kid

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...I just seen a GT the other day driving down the road...But very rarely anymore..

[@MidnightClubsSR]

ScottieDTV​ yeah those cars are very hard to find just like the Mazda RX-7, Nissan 300ZX, Toyota Supra, Acura NSX, Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, Toyota MR2 and the old Nissan Skyline GTR, when they buy these cars they don't give them up

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on....

[@sarahdeshay1394]

I have the same car same color factory engine. But I have an 88 with a 406 small block that needs a little more work.

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on.....Sounds like a cool car!!

[@jasongreen9824]

Beautiful

[@ScottieDTV]

Right on...

[@sabufinisher]

one of the most forgotten cars in the world^

[@ScottieDTV]

Till someone drops a LS in one...lol

[@NoPaintGarage]

i wanna see the truck next to it!

[@ScottieDTV]

I shot a bunch of trucks...just not that one...sorry!

[@valentinvazquez7074]

Still amazed how the hell he fit the engine in that toy car 😂

[@blackholeentry3489]

I bought an 88GT with 21K on it three years ago. Flew back to MN and drove it back to central CA. It now has 44K on it and, as I'm now 78, I bought it for a driver and am going to ''run its legs off!"

[@ScottieDTV]

lol..Cool!....Thanks for checking this one out here!!

[@dr.OgataSerizawa]

@blackholeentry3489 Let me know if you want to sell. I’m 71, have an 84 SE, mint. Just no power…..but love driving it! You know the deal. From Jim in Columbia, MO.

[@itialianpasta]

Always great to see females work on cars competently

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree...I'm a big fan!

[@Edgar-Friendly]

Real woman power rather than SJW crap.

[@bissel100]

I wonder when they realized they would have to put the battery in the front and no longer have room for a spare tire

[@larrynance17]

Damn! I would love to see what it'll do in the quarter.

[@ScottieDTV]

Cool car for sure!

[@yeetbomb2015]

That's a tight fit xD

[@ScottieDTV]

no doubt!!

[@johnroberts4571]

Poor man's Vette..

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Awesome....

[@ScottieDTV]

I agree!!!!

[@toddcraft6919]

The LS probably weighs less than the V6 they swapped it for

[@ScottieDTV]

Maybe....

[@jbncnow]

Who doesnt have facebook these days? these people would have more work than they could handle if the word was out

[@yonihales9133]

They dumped the Fieo to keep selling n producing the Corvett in a dying 2 seater market of the time, especially when the engineers dropped a turbo in the Fiero and it out preformed the Vette that cost twice the price.

[@abnormaladventure]

Ps cool channel scotty

[@ScottieDTV]

Thank You Brother!!

[@abnormaladventure]

Keep up the good work

[@rickcollinsva]
