HOLLEY SNIPER INSTALL ON V8 FIERO....First Drive, it's faster!

[@aaronmcilvain8077]

On my v8 fiero I had to jack the back of the car way up in the air and burp the cool system that way. After that No over heating problems

[@mabuildsofficial]

@aaron mcllvain We have been lifting the front way up in the air at this point but thanks for the suggestion! We will give that a go!

[@mikemiskiman4743]

I know when they were knew they had it matters problem with over 80 how to do with an air blockage

[@brianswelding]

2:43 maniacal laughter, perfect honest response 😀 awesome build.

[@WillMack-u1h]

How much did the swap end up costing in the end

[@jeffsapp9112]

Sounds awesome..

[@w41duvernay]

Cooling issue. May be time to go to a bigger radiator.

[@mabuildsofficial]

@w41duvernay yeah it has a bigger aftermarket radiator in it but I think I may put a better one in.

[@airgunningyup]

amazing , love fiero conversions

[@averagejoe6971]

Get the bigger radiator, dude ;)

[@mabuildsofficial]

@Average Joe it does have a bigger 3 row aluminum radiator, I think the issue is the water pump placement... We'll get it fixed up haha

[@Nigel2Zoom]

Are you using the stock Fiero transaxle?

[@mabuildsofficial]

Yes we are.

[@bcorn68]

@@mabuildsofficial Let us know if it pops. :-) or when?

[@mlr06121974]

RIP that stock Fiero transmission lol.

[@mabuildsofficial]

she’s takin a beating like a champ lol 😂

[@nissanloveR32]

I heat different things . They are strong or they are weak lol which one is it haha. I want to do a 3.8 swap

[@Slowv8Fiero]

Cracked windshield. Lol

[@speeder36]

How much abuse can the V6 transmission take?? LOL

[@mabuildsofficial]

@Tim O At this point it appears quite a lot lol 😂 although the clutch is taking the bulk of the abuse which is probly why it’s been ok for now haha

[@turboslugfiero]

Put really good race oil like Motul 300 in the gearbox. It keeps my 5 speed Getrag together😉👍

[@leonvoltaire]

@@mabuildsofficial Just don't slap fat tires in the back, that's where the torque will kill the gearbox.

[@w41duvernay]

@@mabuildsofficial To help the tranny together, you may consider getting another getrag to tear down, and croytreating the internals, and getting a Phantom diff posi kit. Drivetrain in Las Vegas has a rebuild kit for the getrag.

[@bebababababababababa]

New rad?

[@mabuildsofficial]

Possibly?! We are think we are somehow not bleeding all the air out and that’s what keeps causing the overheating issues

[@turboslugfiero]

@@mabuildsofficial Yes, I had the same problems. You need to bleed out all the air from the highest points on the engine. Otherwise, the Fiero cooling system seems to air lock and then blow all the coolant through the overflow!

[@Slowv8Fiero]

Blowing off Walmart cooper cobras a Honda could do. Lmao

[@Slowv8Fiero]

It's faster than what? Faster than a yugo? Eh. Maybe

[@jecrpalier]

Lol I know how quick stock ones were. That would smoke any car u put against it. It has no weight clowns

[@Slowv8Fiero]

@@jecrpalier this slow fiero wouldn't beat a twin turbo Aventador. Stop being a clown. 99% of SBC fiero s make less than 300 HP at the tires. Slow gas guzzling junk

[@Slowv8Fiero]

Slow junk

[@jecrpalier]

What a tool

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

What shifter is that? The throw is so cartoonishly long, I feel like it should be attached to a 13 speed Eaton with a skull shift knob.😂 You should do a short throw conversion asap!

[@iainnicholson4399]

Awesome

[@mabuildsofficial]

Thanks!

[@RearEngineShop]

It Rips! Awesome guys.

[@mabuildsofficial]

@Rear engine shop Thanks! And this is just the beginning we are hoping to make it even faster!

@@mabuildsofficial These Fiero builds are among my favorite to follow, see, watch. This vehicle platform is among my favorites since the introduction. It was absolutely clear from 1984-1988 this vehicle, platform, always had more potential within the engineering, designs than GM & Pontiac allowed. This vehicle not only had a great potential for 'fun'-'excitement'[Pontiac slogan then-"We Build Excitement"], sporty car, also a excellent performing Roadster and a high performance small sports car, also various racing platforms form Time Attack, Road Track, Drag Strip, etc. This vehicle can easily be modified to outperform the Corvette, C1-7, competitive with C8, Camaro/Firebird [Gen 1-6], Mustang [all Gen], Challenger/Charger [all Gen], also GTR, Supra, R-8, Viper, Why did Toyota basically copy the Fiero, introduced it in 1988, as the Fiero was known to be discontinued in by 1987 for after 1988, then modified to look more like a Fiero body, without the more advanced chassis, body panel materials, suspension - their initial 4 cylinder was certainly a much better, very significantly better version engine and transmission than the Fiero -as Toyota and Honda had developed and still have - much of Nissan, Mitsubishi, . The unique chassis design, polymer body panels, suspension, steering, mid-engine designs are among these innovations within one vehicle, which allows it to achieve all of these What are the details with this V-8 build/LS swap ? 🤔 Which power train - engine, transmission, trans-axle ? 🤔 Which ignition, intake, exhaust, throttle body, fuel EFI system/injectors/fuel type ? 🤔 Any other 'bolt on' modifications, P/A, suspension, brakes, etc. done or planned including body, 'aero', etc. ? 🤔 Note: the issues with the coolant system and air can be solved using specific tools/devices which use vacuum to remove all air in the system. Also a coolant system pressure check is worthwhile along with the radiator cap. 🤓 😏 All The Best and Much Success in Your Quest, Health, Happiness and Well Being. 😊 Sincerely ☺

[@k00lkidz4]

how do mount the engine transversely?

[@mabuildsofficial]

@K00L KIDZ they come transverse mounted stock. Check out our 1st fiero video and we show installing everything.

[@davisweyant3908]

That thing is hilarious!!!! Love it!!!!

[@mabuildsofficial]

@Davis Weyant Right?! It's a blast to drive!! Lol

[@mikecook3099]

Most ...90% of fieros are "LSD". Limited" slip diff". It's tire hop.. plus the coolant system is too small. Larger water rails &. 3 core radiator will fix that..

[@jasondearduff8274]

This is why I hate hydraulic clutch
