Wish I would have seen this earlier, I was staring at one at Autozone a few hours ago.
It will NOT fit a 60 degree, if thats what you're considering it for (thats what I was looking at it for..). I just don thave the exact measurements.
Hope taht helps...

EDIT: Wow, lotsa paint in that motor!

Not even close enough if you slot the bolt holes in the flanges?

I have a gen 3 intake manifold here and the center to center on it is 2.5 inches .

I measured a stock fiero thermo housing at around 2.75 center to center. I need something arond a 2.5 c to c in order to bolt it on. Or just use the stock gen 3 housing tube. I dont' have one at this time thuogh.

Hey donk I know you have one on that gen 3 manifold I sent you.

hey jinx is that engine yours? fi so measure the center to center ont he bolts?

S10 might not work either as one from a Fiero wont' work as the bolt spacing is different. So if the S10 is anyting like the fieros it wont' fit.

I've got a zz4 on an engine stand. I just micd it at 3 1/4 or 83mm.

edit: That's measured from the center of each bolt.
