So look what arrived today!!!! Now to strip the whole thing down for cleaning, new cam and head gaskets, injector's and so on!

The body is off, and I started chopping on the frame already.  The floor was cut out, and I've replaced two main tubes.  Now that the back of the cockpit is solid, I am about to cut off the back of the frame and totally rework that!
The second video is already out.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZDkl3ozvDA

Here is a teaser of the third video which will be released later this week.

This is awesome!

Glad to see you're still at it. The 3900 is a great engine! Probably the best modern swap out there for anything Fiero

Thanks buddy! I'm glad to see you're still around here!
I've been doing a lot of researching, studying, and even taking some online classes about sound dynamics. For many many years people have been trying to get their builds to sound like a Lamborghini, even with engine swaps, 180 degree headers and so on. I have heard many people on these forums say its impossible because of "dual plane VS. flat plane" engines, lower reciprocating mass, shorter stroke, valve size and so on.
I have said all along it has very little to do with the engine, and everything to do with manipulating and multiplying the sound pulses, eliminating some and amplifying others.
I have chose this engine because I believe it will be the easiest to accomplish a high "F1" exhaust note from. Although the sound can be replicated by any engine (4 cylinder minimum), this engine will do it easily/cheaply and also yield more H.P. than most other 6 cylinder swap options.
You're gonna have to come out and do another video when its done lol!

I know if there's anyone who can accomplish that F1 sound out of a V6 it will be you. I have been planning a Trip back to cali, Right now I'm basically disabled from Cancer but it's only a bump in the road. 

That car has come such a long way since the last time I saw it in person. It reminds me of my buddies Murcielago SV he sold a few years ago. Artvandelay is his name on IG but he had a purple SV like yours but his was a manual. Crazy car but same color wrap and all. Ill have to try and dig out some pics and post em.

Unless you're on IG?

OMG i'm sorry to hear that but yes, it is just a bump in the road. I know 3 other people going through the same thing right now, all with excellent results so far so hang in there and NEVER stop fighting, you will win.
Yes my IG is 1mikechase.

Watched the video from beginning to end, Looks like you're gonna be in for a big time project. Keep simple as much as possible. You can't wrong here with what you got.
