Just now planning my project, any help/advice would be much appreciated!
My buddy has just pulled out his 2.8L from his Camaro and is willing to sell- complete with accessories and electronics. I believe I can get a plate from Kennedy, but here's my question:
Is that VW tranny going to handle that motor, or should I hunt around for a 4-cyl donor?
Just a side note: How similar are the Fiero's 2.8L to the Camaro's? I know there is a lot more information out there for the Fiero motor, and if they are the same, I may be able to utilize what is already out there
Just remembered one more: I still have the remains of my once beautiful Corvette (C4, 1987). Much of this car is destroyed but it looks like the rear end and control arms/axles are still good, worth keeping for the Sterling? It may not be worth it as the rear end is set up to accept the drive shaft- not sure it would help anything for this style of car???
Here is an example if you aren't familiar with the Corvette's "batwing" (picture doesn't show the tie rods)
