Attempting LY7 Fiero

If you decide to upgrade the rods and pistons let me know.. i'd take the 3.6 stockers in a heartbeat.

Why? If its because you think they are forged, they are not. I ordered a piston and rod, and what I got wasn't forged. So I contacted GM about it, and they verified that their early press releases had a typo in them.

I know..

I wanted to shave a tad off the tops to get my SCR up in the 13's or so.

Anybody done an LY7 Swap yet??

I'm especially interested in putting one in my Stalker V6 (Lotus 7 replica) and THINK one from a Cad CTS might be a possibility. Wonder how much room it takes up compared to my 3.4 Camaro 60 degree motor (especially height and width <at the cams>)

I've got it pretty much figured out i think. I got a 2005 3.6 VVT from a LaCrose complete dropout. gas pedal fuel pump, all accesoris, wiring and ecm. My tuner can tune the stock pcm to get rid of the torque management so the drive-by-wire will operate like a throttle should, get rid of the tranny stuff, get rid of the security crap. Basically he can do anything I want to the pcm, and he is gonna tune me up for boost. I am running this in my 87 Fiero, longitudinaly with the Audi trans, and he says it will be no problem at all. On top of that if I wanted to stay N/A, he has tuned a few of these already, says he has a tune that gave a CTS dyno proven 15 extra horses to the wheels.
