Anyone ever look at '88 Fiero rear to Spit/GT6?
I found a complete '88 Fiero less engine, really cheap.
Not sure how well the rear suspension would adapt to the GT6, if at all. I know the Fiero uses a strut and that can be modified. Thinking use the strut mount holes to fit an upper "A" arm, add a coil-over shock. Might be able to add the entire Fiero rear cradle, mount a diff and driveshafts. Need to visit the local P&P with a tape measure, if they also have a Fiero on hand. Mostly idle speculation until I can get a look at one. Unless some one already knows the answers? |

Now trying to locate a Merkur XR4Ti rear to look at.
Cannot find any pics on line but hope it is similar to T-Bird but smaller. Very popular in the UK for swaps and appears good to around 300 HP. I think it also comes with the correct PCD that I need, or very close. |

Putting the V6 up front ? Mazda RX7 is a complete modular diff/suspension unit. A t-axle with torque tube,(944/etc), would help weight dist. and lend chassis rigidity. roverman.

Thought about a TA but there are few choices available.
Porsche and Audi seem to be about it at reasonable cost. All fairly old now and none with a stellar reputation. The added bulk might make fitting the fuel tank a challenge. A Delorean/Puegeot might be nice as I know they handle moderate V8's but they are now too rare. |
