Hey guys,
Thought I'd post something interesting I found, especially considering how ghost townie it's been around here. My team pulled the race car out of winter storage last month only to find we'd developed a head gaskety leak since we put her away. Hoping for the best we pulled the heads but found a cracked block due to insufficient coolant draining (series rules require water only). We sourced the closest engine we could find to meet our timeline which was donated by an 04 Buick Rondez Vous. I was pleasantly surprised to see an oil cooler sandwiched between the block and oil filter and even more excited that it fit in the Fiero frame. If attempting a retrofit you may need the coolant pipe that attaches above the water pump. Hope this helps some one!
Cheers,
~Sam
