Real Fiero Tech

Are you trying to do what they did with the Viper and convert it to separately variable intake and exhaust? The viper only varies the exhaust lobe timing, so in theory, the 3900's phaser would work, but yes, I'm researching the possibilities of making it happen now. it'll probably be a year or two ...

nothing yet, just doing research on the VVT motors, as I would like to swap one in my car in the future, but I was thinking about making a few changes while I was in there, some small, some not so much. unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that the 3900 phaser won't do what I need it to do, ...

they both buy stuff from each other, but don't offer all of each other's products. Cone is mainly collectors, and they have quite the selection too.

I read through in a little detail, and it appears to be of similar design principle, but I'm still looking for diagrams of the 3900 phaser specifically.

As many of us already know, the "high value" series of 60*V6 have a variable cam timing setup that adjusts cam timing via the PCM. does anyone have any exploded diagrams of the phaser showing how the phaser works, and how it is put together? I've got a couple of ideas in my head that I'm k...

I'm surprised Cone engineering and Columbia river mandrel aren't on here yet. cone makes merge collectors in all shapes and sized, CRM also has collectors, along with a wide variety of mandrel bands (duh) http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog/ http://www.coneeng.com/ I haven't ordered from cone, but ...

well, if any of you have a set, PM me a price! otherwise, old europe it is.

fieros are non existent in the yards in northwest florida, any other cars have the same axles?

do you think I'd have problems with a stock 3500 breaking them? that's the most I'd be throwing at them for a long while.

I'm going to get a reconditioned set from rock auto. any downside to this?

Whats the best source for an axle? any other cars use the same axles? are there any cheap upgrades I can do?

Thanks-

Eric J.

so in other words, I need to source a driver side axle still.

I have the passenger side axle already, so thats would be awesome is thats the case.

I finally have the transmission and related components! now for the fun part, the swap! I only have one question,


will the axles from the auto trans fit the four speed?

Yeah, I'm swapping from a 125c.

anything is possible, just depends on how in depth i decide to get with it. right now though, it's almost at the very bottom of my mod list.I already have too many projects, so I shouldn't turn my truck into one quite yet.

Does anyone know If I'll need new axles for the 4 speed swap?

yeah, the brakes are alright on mine, but I would prefer something with a little more grab, hopefully they're just a little worn, I plan to do a thorough inspection of the frontend sometime later this week.

I ment 4.10 either way, it wasn't built for gas mileage. I'd like to see how much it weighs on a scale, o wouldn't doubt it if it was over 5500 pounds.

when I said new, I meant new to me it's an 1987 Chevy R30 (1 ton rear wheel drive) L19 454 (TBI) Bonus cab, Turbo 400, 8' bed, dually with a corp. 14 bolt (4:11) it's got longtubes, and it'll have an EBL Flash board from dynamicefi.com sometime next week. other than that it's bone stock...I think. I...

I should be going to get the 4 speed on Saturday, that and a few other goodies, hopefully I can get the car going strong again. my new truck isn't exactly gas friendly.
