I built it with my dad in the 70s (though with a Rajay turbocharged VW engine then). The V6 on mine is bolted straight to the VW transaxle with a Kennedy adapter. Fortunately on mine, we were able to put the radiator in front. I will say that I really like the gauge set up. So many kit cars have such a disarray of unorganized gauges. These all match and are well placed.\r\n\r\nFWIW the Fiero engine is quite sweet and powerful. And sounds really great with the two short pipes and mufflers we used. We used the Camero exhaust manifolds to point the two sides straight back to the mufflers. And used a crossover pipe between them, rather than the Y joint that this Fiero has. We are also running the full Fiero ECU and harness. I've tried various performance chips.
