Here are the Fiero valve covers I picked up at PAP. I had the body shop paint them the same Cherry Red Metallic.

Here they are going on the 2.8.
Left: The mighty 2.8 sports its new valve covers. Right: A nice engine shot after it was detailed with CD2 engine detailer. (Yes that is a ricer conical... you would do it too if you saw the restrictive stock box)

Some people ask about the V6. Or more likely, why do I still have it. Well, here's my take on the V6.
1. Its already there. It would take a lot of work swapping in a V8, because the tranny and front suspension need to be swapped over too. (Not even touching the wiring harness deal) I'd also swap the fuel pump to a V8 spec one. (Too much hassle to drop the tank)
2. It gets nice gas mileage. Good highway cruiser and around town mileage.
3. I probably couldn't control myself with a V8. I've driven a TPI V8 F-Body and I don't think I could trust myself with that much power at my foot.
4. The V6 is a long lasting motor. I have heard these motors going to 300,000 miles and more. I'm currently at 110,000+, so I have a long way for it til it dies.

HMMM... 50-state legal headers are going to be available soon for the V6... I think I'll be saving up for them, yes w/ the y-pipe too!

Options:
1. If it dies, swap the V6 for a 3.4L out of a 93-95 Camaro/Firebird. 160 HP & 200 lb-ft of torque. Nice improvement over the 135/160 that the 2.8 has.
2. If I have money and it dies, 383 stroker...... ahh I can dream...

This is funny stuff.
The top ten signs of a timing chain that has "gone bad" :

10. Sneaks out at night and holds up convenience stores for all the sprockets they have on hand;

9. Sleeps with your neighbor's timing chain;

8. Trys to vote more than once for it's favorite chain for governor;

7. Doesn't claim "additional stretch" on its tax return;

6. Conspires with Honda timing chains behind your back;

5. Whines and kicks and complains that it isn't well enough to go to school, then acts perfectly normal when it visits the timing chain doctor;

4. Doesn't even trying to hold its oil until it gets to the drain pan;

3. Runs backwards when you're not watching;

2. Beats on the cover like a mariachi band all night long, while you're trying to sleep;

1. It says "Ford" on it.

Funny Stuff!
