ENGINE REMOVAL
If you plan on keeping your original engine some kit car companies
say you can leave it in and stretch the chassis with it in. Let me
tell you that is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. Listen it
is NOT hard to remove a Fiero engine just unplug every thing and
lower the car on a Floor Dolly raise the car back up and side it
out. EASY!!! If you try to cut off the rear, Line it back up
precisely, weld in extensions, and put it back together, all with the
engine in you have either done this a few times or are nuts. Just
take it out and you can at least detail the engine compartment and
make sure all of your welds have penetrated. NOTE: If you have a
6Cyl you will need to at least detach the Clutch & Throttle.
Contrary to belief you do not have to "Extend your brake lines.
After you have done the stretch you can straighten out the brake
lines and re-mount them. There is plenty of tubing!
